Mumbai, April 16: 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.

슬롯사이트œNow 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,슬롯사이트� Jitesh said in the latest episode of RCB Bold Diaries.

However, the 31-year-old said he relishes a victory for the team more than a personal landmark.

슬롯사이트œI used to enjoy raising my bat when I reached a milestone. But ever since I became a finisher, I never got a chance to make a fifty. (It has mostly been)10 balls, 30 runs. 20 balls, 40 runs. These scores have become 50 for us. If you do 60슬롯사이트�70 in 30 balls, it's like a 100. And I am happy, very happy doing, if the team wins,슬롯사이트� he added.

But Jitesh said being a wicketkeeper offers him certain advantages during a match such as an opportunity to study the pitch and opposition batters.

슬롯사이트œYour mind definitely gets tired. The advantage is that you can control the game from there. You get an idea about what your team's bowlers can do on a wicket. You can read other big batters; that's also an advantage. When a new batsman takes four to six balls, he understands the wicket. I understand that in two balls, because I've kept the wicket before. I stay involved for 240 balls. That's the fun of cricket for me,슬롯사이트� he said. RCB Fans in Pakistan Spotted Watching Karachi Kings vs Lahore Qalandars PSL 2025 Match (See Pic).

Dinesh Karthik, the RCB mentor, also praised Jitesh for the work that he is putting into his game.

슬롯사이트œHe is always hungry to learn. He's like, 슬롯사이트˜What can I do?' He calls me Anna. Those conversations have been very positive. He is at that stage where he's willing to try anything I say. So it's very fun like that. If I work with him for a year or two, I feel that I can touch the limits (with Jitesh),슬롯사이트� he added.
