Jitesh claimed that he would always pray to god for their top order to collapse, which could open the door for him to be in the middle and score some runs with the bat. But despite getting the chance, he hasn’t been able to deliver.

“You won’t believe, I always pray to God, let my top order get collapsed, and I can bat and score. I see it as an opportunity to become a hero. I always visualize such innings in my life. I am such a person; I have always wanted to do something magical.” The Baroda batter expressed in an interaction.

“Being in the present, focus on your breathing, seeing the scoreboard, what’s required, what’s not required, calculating such things, being yourself, I think, helps me to handle that pressure. I see it as an opportunity to become a hero. I always visualize such innings in my life. I am such a person; I have always wanted to do something magical.” He addressed.

The 32-year-old has collected 63 runs in seven innings at an average of nine and a strike rate of 112.50 with the best score of 23.
