After a gripping encounter last season, where RCB stunned CSK to reach the playoffs, fans are eagerly anticipating another intense battle.
One player who could be crucial for RCB's fortunes this season is Jitesh Sharma. Known for his explosive batting, he had a breakthrough season in IPL 2022, where he became one of the most exciting talents.
