India national cricket team wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma strangely escaped dismissal during the second T20I of the five-match series against the South Africa national cricket team.
The Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh was the host of the second match of the series between India and South Africa on Thursday, 11 December.
Jitesh Sharma was dismissed in the second T20 match
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) star Jitesh Sharma has become India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman in T20Is after Sanju Samson was dropped from the playing eleven.
He has exceptional hitting ability and is known for his batting ability in the death overs. To take full advantage of his excellent strokeplay, the team has sent Jitesh Sharma in the lower order.
The right-handed batsman has also played some good innings for the team. Meanwhile, he was a part of an awkward moment during the second match between India and South Africa.
On the second ball of the 15th over, Otneil Bartman bowled a length ball on the off stump to Jitesh Sharma, who tried to smash the ball but missed it completely. The ball kissed the bail, rolled it, but did not fall and the batsman survived.
