Exciting matches are being played continuously in IPL 2023. Many big players have also shown a great game. So the bat of the same new players has also gone tremendously. Talking about middle order batsmen, the name of Jitesh Sharma, the wicket-keeper batsman of Punjab Kings, is very much discussed. Jitesh Sharma has impressed cricket experts with his blistering batting. Jitesh Sharma has increased his step towards Team India somewhere. Till now Jitesh Sharma has played a total of 10 matches in IPL 2023. His average has been 26.56. He has scored 239 runs in 10 matches. The most important thing about Jitesh Sharma is his strike rate.

 

The 239 runs that have come from Jitesh Sharma’s bat have come at a strike rate of 165.97. This is the reason why he is being considered as a big player for the shorter format. Jitesh Sharma has so far hit 18 fours and 16 sixes in the IPL. However, Jitesh Sharma has not been able to convert his innings into big innings. There are definitely runs coming from his bat. But he has remained unbeaten in only one match so far and in the last match against Mumbai, he scored an unbeaten 49 in Mohali, which is his best score so far in this IPL. Many cricketers are constantly praising Jitesh Sharma.

 

In the 22 IPL matches that Jitesh Sharma has played so far, his strike rate is above 164. In this he has scored 473 runs. So far 40 fours and 28 sixes have come out of his bat. Compared to them, the strike of Rishabh Pant and Ishaan Kishan in IPL is very less. Rishabh Pant has scored runs in IPL at an average of 147.97. So right there, Ishaan Kishan has a strike rate of 133.25. Both these players are very expensive, while Punjab’s Jitesh Sharma was bought for only 20 lakhs and he was retained this year. If his performance remains like this then he can appear in Team India in the coming days.
