For Jitesh Sharma, the recent few weeks that were marked with injury unfortunately led to his ouster from the famous squad of the India T20 team that would eventually lift the World Cup, a sordid moment for the talented keeper batter.

While on the other hand, for Rajat Patidar, the current IPL season is an excellent opportunity to hit some vital runs and gather early momentum as his RCB team attempt to gain early traction in this initial phase of the torhrnament. Points on the table with successive wins is what Patidar would be targeting. After all, he’s already begun well this season as his Bengaluru team blanked SRH in their first game.

Maybe more wins with hardwork and God’s blessings are around the corner.
