Evaluating the Contenders (Jitesh Sharma)
Six wicketkeepers participated in the IPL 2024 tournament, fighting for possible positions as the two chosen in the 15-member team. Jitesh Sharma’s recent eye-catching performance in the T20I series displayed excellent cohesion in the middle order. Pant’s rival for the title was Jurel, and Ishan Kishan was the player who stood in his shoes at the time.
Adding to the team’s structural stability, Santner’s ability to make a comeback in IPL 2024 was considered a given, thus confirming his status as a permanent member of the squad. In contrast, Jitesh Sharma and Jeuril performed disastrously throughout the training session. Thus, their potential to get selected had indeed been diminishing.

Samson vs. Rahul
There are some hints these days as to Rahul not being called by the selectors to bid; in this selector’s area of expertise is finding another opening batsman. His impressive IPL streak, ahead of his weakness against leg spin in the future, sent him to the flag as the best pick. However, selectors are exploring specialist options for middle-order slots, prompting reconsideration of Jitesh Sharma and Jurel.
As much as the selection dramas, the statistical analysis indicates equally how the player does for the IPL. Rajasthan’s Samson has proved his worth by consistently topping in run scoring with an employee’s better silly-question strike rate. On the other hand, Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv Jurel hardly left their mark with stocky performances and sudden errors.

Jitesh Sharma‘s Tally
Jurel’s adventures with the volatile Rajasthan Royals team often gave him a mixed bag. While he consistently brought in some sparkling performances, the overall team proved to be inconsistent. Despite his polarized role during a stretch of about half a century, his eternal influence is still a solid matter of argument.
The selection committee should consider Balance and flexibility while making their decision, which manifests the importance of the wicketkeeper. While Pant’s return meant that he would take over the main role, the position of the backup requires careful examination. Keep in mind that the features of a person exceed mere batting skills.
