Jitesh Sharma’s lottery: After RCB’s championship win, he will now captain this team.

Royal Challengers Bangalore won the title for the first time in 18 years by defeating Punjab Kings in the final match of IPL 2025. At the same time, Vidarbha’s star wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma, one of the best performing for RCB this season, will now be seen playing in the first season of Vidarbha Pro T20 League.

Let us know that this season of IPL was great for Jitesh. He scored an average of 37.28 in 15 matches and 261 runs at a strike rate of 176.35. Not only this, in some matches, he also captained RCB and played a match -winning innings. However, he will now be seen leading the NECO Master Blaster in the T20 League to be played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur from June 5 to June 15.

These four other teams will play in the league

Apart from Masters Blasters and Rangers, four other teams will also participate in this league. These teams are Nagpur Hiroz, Nagpur Titans, Orange Tigers and Pragaraia strikers. The first match of the league will be played between strikers and Titans at 2:45 pm. Yash will take the captaincy of the strikers, while the Titans will command Vidarbha’s 2024-25 Ranji Trophy winning captain Akshay Wadkar.

In this Vidarbha Pro T20 League, where some big names will be seen playing, some big names will also remain missing. Vidarbha’s two biggest names Karun Nair and Harsh Dubey will not be part of this franchise tournament. He is currently playing for the national team in England.

Karun Nair has been included in the five -match Test series against ‘Three Lions’, while Harsh Dubey is representing the India A team. Both of them were part of the first unofficial Test between India A and England Lions, in which Nair scored a double century while showing a wonderful game. At the same time, Dubey took a wicket in the match with an innings of 32 runs. The upcoming T20 League of these two players will disappoint a little for their fans.
