Jitesh Sharma is an Indian wicketkeeper who bats right-handed. He has made 1428 runs in ODI cricket for India.
Operating behind the stumps, Sharma combines the technical demands of keeping wicket with the batting responsibilities expected of modern international players. His right-handed approach at the crease reflects the contemporary emphasis on aggressive batting from wicketkeeping positions in limited-overs formats.
The accumulation of over 1400 ODI runs demonstrates sustained involvement in India's one-day setup. His career trajectory places him within India's pool of wicketkeeping talent, a position that has historically attracted significant competition for places at international level.
Sharma's role bridges the traditional demands of wicketkeeping - positioning, glove work, and match awareness - with the batting prowess increasingly central to selection criteria in modern cricket. The balance between these two skill sets remains fundamental to his value within the Indian team structure.
