From NDA Dreams to India Blues: The Rise of Jitesh Sharma and the Mentor Who Believed

View Comments Bengaluru: Cricket wasn’t the dream. Not even a fleeting thought. For Jitesh Sharma, the plan was set — join the NDA, serve in the Air Force, wear a different kind of uniform. But fate, as it often does in sport, had other ideas. “I was in 10th standard. I wanted to go for NDA. One day, a friend said, ‘Let’s do a cricket trial. We’ll get 4 percent extra marks,’” Jitesh recalls with a smile. At that moment, cricket was just a means to an academic end. But when he noticed ‘wicketkeeper’ had the fewest names on the registration list, Jitesh — along with two friends — casually chose it. And unknowingly, chose a future. Today, Jitesh Sharma stands tall not just as a dependable wicketkeeper-batsman, but as a beacon of belief for his hometown of Amravati. “I […]
