Jitesh Sharma is currently a backup wicket-keeper on the Indian team. Surely, there will be a demand for him at the auctions. Punjab Kings could use the RTM Card to buy him back. However, there will be a few other teams that could target his signature. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three teams which could target Jitesh Sharma in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions.
1) Chennai Super Kings
CSK could make smart signings at IPL 2025 Mega Auctions and Jitesh Sharma could be one of them. Usually, such players who go under the radar make a strong impact at CSK. Jitesh could be the ideal option for CSK at No.5.
Importantly, the franchise will have a backup keeper and also the replacement for MS Dhoni if he decides to hang his boots.
2) Gujarat Titans
Gujarat Titans is one of the teams which could target Jitesh Sharma in IPL 2025 Mega Auctions. GT will want to sign a wicket-keeper for the future. They made this mistake in the last Mega Auctions and will not want to repeat it again.
GT actually has a settled top-order and may not want the likes of Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul. Hence, they could go for Jitesh Sharma, who adds value at No.4 or No.5 depending on his role for the side. Of course, he is also a reliable wicket-keeper.
3) Lucknow Super Giants
LSG needs some experience in the middle order as depending solely on Nicholas Pooran may not be a good approach. Therefore, they could target some Indian names to help Pooran and Ayush Badoni.
Jitesh Sharma is an option for the side. He offers good value against spin and if needed, he can also keep wickets if Pooran does not do it. Hence, he is on this list.
