Watch- Jitesh Sharma humiliated; denied entry at Lord's, Dinesh Karthik forced to rescue

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) star Jitesh Sharma might be a big name in India, but it did not earn him a free pass at Lord's during the recently concluded third Test between India and England.

The wicketkeeper-batsman found himself in an embarrassing situation outside the stadium before he was rescued by RCB mentor Dinesh Karthik.

Jitesh was denied entry at the Lord's

Having arrived at the iconic venue in London, Jitesh Sharma was stopped at the entry gate by security personnel. While the exact reason for it is not known, it appeared that he either did not have the required ticket or some other clearance issue cropped up.

Whatever the reason, the security personnel were in no mood to let Jitesh Sharma enter the stadium. With the situation getting awkward, Jitesh Sharma repeatedly explained his identity, but the security guard remained unmoved.

As a result, the RCB star was left waiting outside with a big crowd. Soon, he spotted Karthik, who is plying his trade as a commentator in the ongoing series. Hoping for help, Jitesh started calling out to Karthik, but the latter did not hear. Jitesh then made a phone call to Karthik, who then returned and sorted out the issue.

Jitesh was last seen in action during the IPL this year. The right-handed batsman played a crucial role in RCB's historic triumph. In 15 games, he scored 261 runs at a strike rate of more than 175. During the tournament, he played several memorable knocks.

Jitesh played a huge role in RCB's title win

His unbeaten 40-run knock off just 19 balls helped RCB beat Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium for the first time in a decade.

In RCB's last league game of the season, he smashed an unbeaten 85 off just 33 balls against Lucknow Super Giants that helped his team chase down 228 runs and seal a top-two finish. He also impressed in the final, scoring 24 runs off just 10 balls.

Talking about the third Test, England beat India by 22 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Chasing 193 runs, India were all out for 170. The fourth Test is scheduled to be played from July 23 in Manchester.
