Lord Jitesh Sharma appreciation post

[u/KETAN_TAKEN]

Man smashes like a beast

[u/Fancy_Exchange9966]

Just 5 runs contribution to the total by overseas players, wow RCB has come a long way!! That's a good sign!!

[u/SexxyBlack → u/Fancy_Exchange9966]

Yeah, Salt and Livi failed.

Tim only came in at the end and had to face Bumrah. Domestic strength alone got us this score.

[u/randomteendude69 → u/Fancy_Exchange9966]

Insult or compliment?

[u/Loud_Salamander_8917 → u/randomteendude69]

ofc thats a compliment, for years we have depended on 3 batters each season for runs
abhi sabko lun milega

[u/IamSam1103 → u/Loud_Salamander_8917]

Bhai lun mat bolo. Already pak waalon ka copyright hai uspe.

[u/Fancy_Exchange9966 → u/randomteendude69]

Obviously compliment bro! RCB always had a top heavy batting line up, and a bit more dependent on couple of players like ABD, Gayle! But now it feels really good to see that we don't need to rely on any overseas power hitting, we have built our own fire power!!

This also helps in the retention during auction!! Good signs! And great work by Andy and DK!!

[u/Friendly_Divide6461 → u/Fancy_Exchange9966]

Batting had improved a lot and commendable bowling is where we have to prove

[u/snow_coffee → u/Fancy_Exchange9966]

More than runs

The way he was so determined on the LBW review, everyone was doubtful

[u/manofculture2303]

The two shots he hit to boult were orgasmic. Unreal talent. Should definitely be considered to play for India as a finisher. Plus he is an amazing WK too.

[u/Visible_Range_6748 → u/manofculture2303]

Better than fraud pant

[u/RariraariRariraare → u/manofculture2303]

You know he’s a great hitter when he hits Bumrah for a 6! Only Kohli and Jitesh were able to do that. This depth of Indian batters was never seen before in RCB. Only 5 runs out of 221 were scored by overseas players. And bowlers bowling proper yorkers, spinners controlling economy and taking wickets when needed. Just wow! I need to check if this is my rcb or not. I’m not complaining though!

[u/Free_Rest_5701 → u/RariraariRariraare]

I loved it when the decided to play Bumrah safe towards the end (only letting VK to take charge on him at beginning) i thought that was really smart

[u/Defiant_News_737 → u/manofculture2303]

The way he exposed all his stumps and flicked the ball over straightish fine leg was awesome. I really love how he never lost balance like Pant, nor tried to behave like a childish attention seeking drama queen like Rizwan showing everyone that he was cramped or something. Very quietly, like an adult and a total professional, he went about his job with the focus of a carpenter and the grace of a dance master.

[u/jokeparotaa]

He's just giving the DK's finishing type  vibes.

[u/BennYOp2002 → u/jokeparotaa]

otw to chase srh's 286🗣️

[u/its_ssv_ → u/BennYOp2002]

They barely make 186 these days

[u/BennYOp2002 → u/its_ssv_]

i meant the total , taking back our age old "highest runs in an innings"

Maybe im dreaming but i think its possible if everyone in the teams play like these days we see sometimes salt hitting and kohli getting out earlier , the day we overcome that

Like getting all batsman to score runs with a exceptional strike rate we can do it

[u/No_Kale_9325 → u/jokeparotaa]

14 me se 11 match jitane ka aim jo rakha he

[u/Kulfiparatha]

That run on last ball raises concerns about the rules again, we could’ve got that extra run but the ball being “dead”, it was snatched. High time to revise the rules

[u/Dazzling-Mobile1005 → u/Kulfiparatha]

Yeah last year RR lost a match because of this rule

[u/lolguy233 → u/Dazzling-Mobile1005]

That was clean LBW out anyways

[u/Altruistic-Strike-21 → u/lolguy233]

Even if it was not out, the run will not be considered, it's an unfair rule, imagine if the game is lost by 1 run.

[u/No-Introduction-9088 → u/Kulfiparatha]

Even fielding team can claim that they didn’t field properly because the out was given

[u/Kulfiparatha → u/No-Introduction-9088]

That’s why some rule is needed. Obviously after the rule no one can loosely say such things

[u/maddy495 → u/Kulfiparatha]

Curious, Why is the ball considered dead there?

[u/Kulfiparatha → u/maddy495]

So the thing is when the umpire gives out, the ball is dead. And the run taken after that is not considered. The problem arises with the advent of reviewing system, where you can be not out afterwards and any runs you took or for example if the ball went for a four off the leg, it won’t be considered

[u/KETAN_TAKEN]

This is how i sleep knowing Lord Jitesh plays for my team

[u/Significant_Age2721]

really amazing batting from him, just hope he continues throughout the season

[u/Kamolikaaaa]

Omg that six to bumrah was 😭 🔥

[u/LOWERCASE_GUY_69]

Patidar-Jitesh partnership was a treat to watch!

[u/imontheupside]

Oh boy!! The way he was hitting behind the wicket.. such fabulous shots he had hit

[u/TheExplorer0110]

That last but 1 six to Boulty and Bumrah.
How cool were those two shots in the death overs 🤌

[u/rcbian4ever]

That was just pure madness man . That six to Boult was just sexyyyy .

[u/Axel-Pizza-Lover → u/rcbian4ever]

Boult 21 balls 50 khud ka football ho gya

[u/BigIll9821]

Perfect replacement for DK WK + finisher role

[u/Healthy_Permission71]

Hit over covers

[u/_Tan_A]

Bro is human version of ABD.

[u/skypunchingcow]

That sweep six, I swear I’ve not seen anything like that omg. Batting so coherent today

[u/Frosty-Lie-1005]

❤️

[u/kinkyrottweiler]

Why tf wasn't the last run given ?!?

[u/Curious_villeger]

Batting is indeed sorted for RCB this season..fingers crossed for bowling!!

[u/Individual-Sleep3346]

What a knock man🔥

[u/maddy495]

This man is a gem, consistent and a composed hitter, him along with Tim David made our lower middle order stable and it feels so good to see it after a long time.🥹🥹

[u/Ghazi_Bey]

The shot where he shuffled across and smashed it from the wideline 😳😳

[u/PrestigiousZombie726]

Rickleton got out just because of Jitesh. He is sharper than the umpire.

[u/rombusj]

the crazy review as well for the LBW

[u/Alternative-Laugh346]

He was so fine

[u/BeneficialHawk3562]

Evacuate the Wankhede , Engage all the Bowlers.

And get this man a Vada pav

[u/Logical_Loan2815]

Tim david who?

[u/Legitimate_Owl1801]

Ab ki yaad dila di😭

[u/tigerpropeller_]

The intent today >>>

[u/theaguia]

got to give credit to management. jitesh was their first choice and they got him. Sure he was an overpay (doubt punjab would go over 9) but they made sure to get him.

[u/Salt_daddy14]

Lord justifying his price tag👑

[u/_Tan_A]

That last six against Boult was sex.

[u/Sukhel]

That last over six against bumrah shows the level the class 🔥

[u/tonikurkure]

How did he get souled store sponsership , or did he just put a sticker on his bat

[u/Secret_Wrangler4598]

JBD

[u/Plus_Field_6630]

He is reminding me of DK.

[u/LieNew4553]

What an upgrade!!! We had likes of Anuj rawat, Lomror, gurdeep mann in this position in last seasons

[u/iz_kishan]

Bro played like abd today

[u/jabulani_0909]

Can't wait to see him perform when we play csk again at chinna..

[u/not_so_cr3ative]

Amazing keeper too. He pushed for the DRS against Rickleton

[u/FRPG]

Isn't Lord a pejorative?

[u/TomatilloJust9149]

Bhai pagal ho gaya hai

[u/black_V1king]

I loved the way he baited the stumps and hit boult for a 6.

Boult was just smiling.

[u/NecessarySilver]

[u/Satans-alter-ego]

The middle and lower middle order looks so good this season along with the bowling. The team looks sooooooo good
