Thus, Jitesh Sharma is quite a popular figure in the cricket world. However, the cricketer faced an unexpected situation during the Lord's Test between India and England. He was denied entry into the Lord's Cricket Ground by the security guard despite his repeated request.
In a video that is going viral on social media, Jitesh Sharma is seen standing in a crowd with a cap on. He is seen telling the security guard that he is the Indian cricketer, Jitesh Sharma, but the person on the other side of the border was adamant.
Mentor Dinesh Karthik Helps Struggling Jitesh Sharma at Lord's
Jitesh Sharma then spotted Dinesh Karthik inside the stadium and called him. However, the RCB mentor failed to hear his voice, and then, Jitesh made a phone call to Karthik, which ultimately led to his entry inside the stadium. The incident has surprised quite a few people on social media, as Jitesh is a popular cricketer.
However, there have been such incidents with other players in the past too, and security people in the UK tend to prioritise rules over the stature of a person. Eventually, Dinesh karthik's presence helped Jitesh Sharma and the two were then seen chatting with each other inside the stadium too.
The right-handed wicketkepeer, Jitesh Sharma, has also grabbed headlines in the recent past due to the reports of his move from Vidarbha to Baroda. The cricketer last played for India in January 2024 and would be eyeing a comeback with consistent performances after a good show for RCB in IPL 2025.
