IPL 2026: 3 players RCB underutilised this season

2. Jitesh Sharma

Wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma is another player who may feel he was not fully utilised during the season. Known for his power-hitting and finishing abilities, Jitesh was often sent in during the closing stages of an innings, leaving him with limited deliveries to make a substantial impact.

Despite batting in challenging situations, he managed to score 116 runs in 12 innings. While those numbers may not appear extraordinary, they do not fully reflect his potential. A promotion in the batting order could have allowed him to play with greater freedom and contribute more significantly to RCB's success. Given his aggressive approach, he could have been a game-changer in the middle overs.
