Chopra Backs Jitesh To Be In India’s Playing Eleven And Shine In Upcoming Asia Cup
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Former India opener Aakash Chopra has backed wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma to feature in the side’s playing eleven in the upcoming Asia Cup, citing his improved numbers and high strike rate.
Jitesh, who’s played nine T20Is for India so far, was one of the vital cogs in Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) winning IPL 2025 by scoring 261 runs at a blistering strike-rate of 176 as their designated finisher. Those performances helped him get back into India’s T20I squad for the Asia Cup, set to happen in the UAE from September 9-28.
"I feel Jitesh Sharma will play in the eleven in Asia Cup. We shouldn't think too much about positions first to third because he won't get a chance there. However, his numbers at numbers four to seven have become a lot better.
