Jitesh Sharma leads RCB for first time as they bowl

Lucknow, May 23 (UNI) Wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma made his captaincy debut for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) as they won the toss and elected to field first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in an IPL match here on Friday, with a top-two finish firmly in sight.
Taking the reins in a crucial clash, Jitesh exuded calm and clarity in his approach. "It's my first time captaining RCB. I captained PBKS against SRH last year,” he said at the toss.

The management has taken care of the players. We have a good atmosphere and culture. We want to win every game and win the cup."
