IPL 2025: Jitesh Credits Batting Coach DK's Advice For Sensational Knock Of Unbeaten 85 Vs RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: After his unbeaten 85 off 33 balls helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) get a top two finish with a six-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma said batting coach Dinesh Karthik’s advice of "keep looking at the ball" and "play normal cricketing shots" helped him a lot in hitting a breath-taking knock.
Jitesh’s knock ensured RCB chased down 228 with eight balls to spare. He also shared an unbeaten 107-run stand with Mayank Agarwal, who scored 41 not out, as RCB set up a Qualifier 1 meeting with Punjab Kings in Mullanpur on Thursday.
“I didn't have a calculation. I spoke to DK and he said, ‘Just keep looking at the ball and try to play normal cricketing shots. And take the game to the end. If you keep playing, I believe you'll finish the match'. I think it's all about preparation. We had discussed every bowler the other day. What can I do? What kind of body shape do I want? So I was just trying to remind myself again and again,” said Jitesh in a video posted on iplt20.com.
