Rayudu's advice for Jitesh: Stop proving, start playing!
13 May
Summary
- Ambati Rayudu advises Jitesh Sharma to bat simply and finish games.
- Jitesh Sharma has struggled, scoring only 82 runs in 11 matches.
- Royal Challengers Bengaluru aims for playoffs with crucial upcoming matches.
Ambati Rayudu has advised wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma to abandon his approach of constantly trying to prove himself and instead focus on fundamental batting. Rayudu suggests Sharma should play to his strengths, bat until the end, and capitalize on opportunities in the crucial final overs.
Sharma has endured a disappointing campaign thus far, accumulating only 82 runs across 11 appearances. While his wicketkeeping remains a valuable contribution, his batting impact has been minimal this season. Previously, he had expressed a desire for top-order collapses to create opportunities for himself to become a match-defining player.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is currently on 14 points from 11 matches and is pushing for a playoff berth. A victory against Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday, May 13, would significantly boost their chances. The team, aiming to defend their title, hopes Sharma can rediscover his batting form as they navigate their remaining league matches.
