RCB star used phone in live match?

RCB wicketkeeper-batsman Jitesh Sharma was a part of this match. He played a short but aggressive innings during the chase and contributed to the team’s victory. He scored 23 runs on 9 balls, which included 2 fours and 2 sixes. But during the match, uploading of some stories on Jitesh Sharma’s Instagram account sparked a new debate in the cricket world. According to the strict rules of IPL, players are not allowed to use mobile phones during the match. Players cannot touch phones even in the dressing room or near the field. In such a situation, the biggest question arising is how were the posts made on Jitesh’s account?

Posts related to this match were shared on Jitesh Sharma’s Instagram account, in which his batting is mentioned. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether Jitesh Sharma himself used the phone in the middle of the match? Or was their account being handled by someone else (such as a manager, family member, or social media team)? No official statement has come yet from RCB management and BCCI on this, but BCCI can investigate this incident. If Jitesh Sharma is found guilty then major action can be taken against him.

Jitesh Sharma important part of RCB

Jitesh Sharma is one of the most important players of Royal Challengers Bangalore. In such a situation, his getting involved in controversy is not a good sign for the team. He has been a part of this team since last season. He also played an important role in the team winning its first trophy in the year 2025. However, this season has been nothing special for him. He could score only 38 runs in 4 innings of 5 matches. Out of which 23 runs have come in this match.
