Talking on his YouTube channel, Chopra said wicket-guardian Jitesh Sharma’s position in the T20 World Cup crew isn’t established at this point. Jitesh has scored 31 runs in two matches in the continuous T20I series against Afghanistan.
“The inquiry is whether you ought to keep Jitesh or Sanju at No. 6. If Jitesh had solidified his place if there hadn’t been a question mark by any means before Jitesh’s name, that he is most certainly going to the World Cup, you might have pondered Sanju. Nonetheless, Jitesh isn’t affirmed at this point,” said Chopra.
