"Never In Mind That He Would Be Vice-Captain": PBKS On Jitesh Sharma-Sam Curran Row
A major controversy erupted at the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals after Sam Curran came out for the toss, representing the home side, since primary captain Shikhar Dhawan had picked up a niggle. Seeing Curran alongside RR skipper Sanju Samson, however, was surprising to many as the franchise had earlier suggested that Jitesh Sharma was their vice-captain, by sending him for the pre-season captains' photoshoot. Seeing Curran lead the side against Rajasthan, hence, upset many fans, with PBKS facing heat on social media.
