Jitesh Sharma’s extraordinary knock against Lucknow Super Giants on Tuesday was easily the innings of the season by a stretch, gushed former Australia all-rounder Tom Moody.
Stand-in skipper Jitesh pulled off a stunning 33-ball unbeaten 85 that carried Royal Challengers Bengaluru to the IPL Qualifier 1. When Jitesh arrived at the crease at the fall of Virat Kohli, RCB still needed 105 off 52 balls in a daunting chase of 228.

“The innings is, for me, the innings of the IPL this season by a stretch. We’ve seen some great knocks from young and old, but this one, wow, quite remarkable,” Moody told ESPNCricinfo.
“The team was totally against it — backs against the wall, Kohli in the sheds, [Phil] Salt in the sheds. There was significant headwind, but he just ignored it all and just took the game apart,” the Australian said.
