**Durban, South Africa:** Jitesh Sharma, the young wicketkeeper-batsman, is facing a make-or-break situation as he prepares for the upcoming four-match T20 series against South Africa, starting on November 8th. According to media reports, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) has given Sharma a final opportunity to prove his worth, hinting at a potential exclusion from the Indian team if he fails to perform.
Sharma, who has been given a consistent run in the team, has only managed to secure a spot in the playing eleven on nine occasions. While he is expected to bat at number 4 in the South Africa series, the reports suggest that a poor performance might cost him a place in the England T20 series scheduled for January.
Sharma has played a total of 9 T20 matches, scoring only 100 runs in 7 innings at a meagre average of 14.28. His highest score remains 35 runs. With pressure mounting, Sharma’s future in the Indian team hangs precariously in the balance as he heads into the crucial series against South Africa.
The series will act as a crucial test for Sharma, who will be hoping to make the most of this final opportunity and secure his place in the Indian T20 setup.
