Let my top order collapse: Jitesh Sharma said earlier
In the lead-up to the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL), the RCB star appeared in an online chat with Royal Challengers Bangalore legend AB de Villiers. In that conversation, Sharma told that his desire is to become a hero for the team.
Typically, he is a middle-order batsman who comes in to play powerful cameos. Therefore, he wanted to see the RCB top order, which includes stars like Virat Kohli, captain Rajat Patidar, Phil Salt and many others, to come in and play long-lasting, match-winning innings.
“You won’t believe it, I always pray to God that my top order collapses and I can bat and score. “I look at it as an opportunity to be a hero. I always imagine such an innings in my life. I am such a person; I always wanted to do something magical. Jitesh Sharma told AB de Villiers, Staying in the present, focusing on my breathing, looking at the scoreboard, calculating what is necessary, what is not, things like that, being myself, helps me handle that pressure.
He further said, “Be yourself, focus on your assets. Now focus on what shot should be required, which bowler is bowling, things like that, so your pressure automatically goes away.”
