'Everyone Seems To Be Finisher": RCB Star Jitesh Sharma Opens Up On Batting Struggles

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's designated finisher Jitesh Sharma said batting down the order has redesigned the value of his knocks, and he is now treating scores of 30s or 40s as equivalent to a fifty. Jitesh has often strode out to bat at No 6 in IPL 2025 and his most significant contribution thus far has been a 40 off 19 balls in RCB's 12-run win over Mumbai Indians a few days back. “Now everyone seems to be a finisher. But it's a difficult job to bat at No 6, No 7 because ever since I started finishing, I haven't scored a fifty. I was an opener. Earlier I used to score fifties and centuries,” Jitesh said in the latest episode of RCB Bold Diaries.

Big Boost To IPL 2025, 156.7 Kmph Star Mayank Yadav Joins LSG Ahead Of RR Clash

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) received a major boost as the fast bowler Mayank Yadav has joined the squad.

KKR Star Sunil Narine, Stopped By Umpire, Fails 'Bat Size' Check. Video Stumps All

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) all-rounder Sunil Narine has a world-renowned reputation of being an explosive hitter of the cricket ball. However, the West Indian had to face embarrassment during the match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday when he failed the customary bat check.

IPL 2025: Jasprit Bumrah's Form In Focus As Mumbai Indians Face Sunrisers Hyderabad

An inconsistent Mumbai Indians will hope that ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah returns to his menacing best, which is essential for them to stop an explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad batting unit in its tracks in a potentially high-scoring IPL match in Mumbai on Thursday. Coming off a three-month long injury layoff, Bumrah is yet to find the accuracy which makes him a tough customer to deal with. After a rather tidy outing against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Bumrah struggled to nail his yorkers and was taken apart by Delhi Capitals' Karun Nair as he leaked 44 runs in that game.

Nitish Rana Breaks Silence On Riyan Parag's Appointment As RR Stand-In Skipper Over Him

As Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson battled fitness issues at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season, Riyan Parag was given the team's leadership baton. Though Samson was fit to bat the first few games, he didn't have the fitness required to keep or be an outfield player. Hence, the management used him only as an Impact Player.
