Speaking to Sports Yaari, Jitesh opened up on the influence that veterans like Rohit Sharma and AB de Villiers have had on him in becoming a dangerous batter. But when it came to glovework, he claimed that there was simply no need to look further than Dhoni.
Here’s what Jitesh Sharma had to say about MS Dhoni:
In my off-time, I watch videos of MS Dhoni: Jitesh Sharma
Apart from being an explosive batter, Jitesh Sharma has also proved to be a reliable finisher for Vidarbha as well as for the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in his maiden IPL season last year.
With Dhoni being one of the best finishers to ever play the game, Jitesh keeps watching videos of the former Indian skipper finishing matches to learn how he handles pressure.
On this, he stated:
Jitesh has been added to India’s current T20I squad for the remaining two T20Is against Sri Lanka, after Sanju Samson was ruled out due to a knee injury.
India’s updated squad for Sri Lanka T20Is: Hardik Pandya (Captain), Ishan Kishan (wk), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (VC), Deepak Hooda, Rahul Tripathi, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Harshal Patel, Umran Malik, Shivam Mavi, Mukesh Kumar.
