About JITESH SHARMA:
Jitesh Sharma’s IPL journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! He started with the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2016 and 2017 but never got the chance to showcase his talent on the field. After a few seasons away from the league, Jitesh made a remarkable comeback in the 2022 mega auction, joining the Punjab Kings (PBKS) for INR 2 crore. His explosive power-hitting quickly made him a standout player, earning him retention for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
But the real headline came in the IPL 2025 mega auction, where the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) secured his services for an eye-popping INR 11 crore! From the sidelines to becoming one of the most sought-after players, Jitesh’s journey is an inspiring tale of grit and determination.
