In a typical ranking system, all options are placed on the table at once, and then they are ranked. In a blind ranking, there is no knowledge of who will show up next. Jitesh was speaking to Cricbuzz when he was asked to rank the greatest finishers in the IPL.

Greatest finishers in the IPL as ranked by Jitesh Sharma
The South Africa and Delhi Capitals batter David Miller was ranked in fourth place by Jitesh. Over the years, Miller has cultivated a reputation for being a hard-hitter in the death overs and closing out quite a few chases by himself.
AB de Villiers - #1
Miller's fellow South African and RCB legend AB de Villiers was at the top of Jitesh's list. 'ABD' didn't always play as a finisher, but his exploits are legendary.
Jitesh Sharma ranked his current RCB teammate Tim David at the third position. David has been a relatively recent entrant to the IPL, having made his debut only in 2021.
Shashank Singh - #9
Even though Shashank Singh was in and around IPL squads since 2017, it took until 2022 for him to get an IPL debut. Even when he did, he had to spend the first five matches not batting, but he impressed with a 25-run over when he was finally called to the crease.
That ability has stayed with him through his career, and in 2025, PBKS trusted him enough to retain him as an uncapped player prior to the mega auction.
He also won two IPL titles with the team to go alongside all his feats in the death overs. Russell is currently part of the KKR dugout as a 'power coach'.
Kieron Pollard - #5
Just like his fellow Caribbean teammate Andre Russell, Pollard too developed a reputation as a big-hitter who could and would turn games in a matter of a few minutes. He now serves as the Mumbai Indians' batting coach.
He was also tried for middle and top order roles earlier, but in the last chapter of his career, he was an out-and-out finisher. His finishing skills helped him earn a recall to the Indian T20I team in 2022. After retiring in 2024, 'DK' now serves as RCB's batting coach.
Hardik Pandya - #6
Hardik, along with his elder brother Krunal and Pollard, formed what they termed the Mumbai Indians' engine room. Hardik Pandya was a crucial part of MI winning most of their IPL titles in the late 2010s, especially in 2019. Hardik, too, was a finisher extraordinaire who would blast off in the death overs.
Jitesh Sharma - #10
His first stint as a finisher was at Punjab Kings between 2022 and 2024. That stint had convinced RCB that Jitesh Sharma was the right choice for them in 2025. That year, Jitesh repaid RCB's faith in him by making small but vital contributions to the franchise's maiden IPL title.
