The Indian Premier League 2023 is going for an exciting finish, with five teams from position to position all having 10 points in the point table, while the defending champions Gujarat Titans hold the top spot with 12 points despite their recent laws against the Delhi Capitals. Consistent performances from the captains of Punjab Kings Shikhar Dhawan have been the major reason for Punjab's success, but one player who has emerged with his incredible power-heating skills is wicketkeeper and batsman Jitesh Sharma.

Jitesh had displayed his potential in the previous season as well. In nine matches, Jitesh has scored 190 runs with a strike rate of 162. The former coach of the Indian Cricket Team, Ravi Shastri, believed that Jitesh could earn the Indian call-up anytime from now on. Shastri said, "He's the find of the IPL. Rishabh Pant is unfortunately not available, but this guy can enter the Indian team anytime. Lower down the order, he's a Todu player. His keeping is great, and he is fearless. You're talking about Shikhar; he missed 2-3 games with an injury, but his intent is amazing. He scored 20–25, but the intent with which he plays is amazing. And then, of course, they have Livingstone and Curran."
