Jitesh Sharma Reveals The Mentor Behind His Match-Winning Comeback

Jitesh Sharma's Impactful Return to the Indian T20I Team

Jitesh Sharma made a significant comeback in the third T20I against Australia, showcasing his batting prowess and making an immediate impact for India. Although part of India’s Asia Cup 2025-winning squad, he did not play any matches and missed the first two T20Is in Australia. When given the opportunity, he responded strongly.

Crucial Performance Under Pressure

India was chasing 187 when Jitesh came in at number seven. He played a vital unbeaten cameo, scoring 22 runs off 13 balls with three boundaries, striking at 169.23. A key highlight of his innings was the scoop shot, a new addition to his batting arsenal.

Guidance from Mentor Dinesh Karthik

“When I got to know I was playing the next match, I was very excited because I was playing a game after many days. I was trying to stay as calm and composed as possible and do things in my control. Special thanks to Dinesh Karthik because he has worked a lot with me. That’s why I was comfortable playing those shots. I just tried to show that I have come to dominate. I am a new batter and it is my first match of the series, does not mean I will take time. I showed good intent and it made the run chase easy.”

Connection to IPL Success

Jitesh’s growing confidence and batting improvements stem from his successful IPL 2025 season with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), which helped prepare him for the international challenge.

Summary

Jitesh Sharma’s composed and confident comeback innings, backed by mentorship from Dinesh Karthik and IPL experience, played a key role in India’s chase against Australia.
