A comical incident took place with Jitesh Sharma on Thursday. Gujarat Titans are currently playing against Punjab Kings in the 18th game of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024). The match is being played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan won the toss and opted to bowl first. The Punjab-based outfit are desperate for a win after losing their last two games. They began their season with a fine win over Delhi Capitals before suffering losses against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants.

With PBKS in desperate need of a win, their wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma decided to show remarkable commitment but ended up becoming a victim of a hilarious incident. The incident took place in the very second over when Arshdeep Singh was bowling to Wriddhiman Saha.

On the second ball of the over, Arshdeep bowled one on the pads and the ball deflected off the thigh pad before running past Jitesh Sharma. The wicketkeeper decided to give a spiritd chase but before he could catch the ball, he lost his balance and ended up taking a tumble on the field.

Watch the hilarious incident involving Jitesh Sharma:

Talking about the game, Gujarat Titans were on 144 for 3 in the 17th over at the time of writing this report. Captain Shubman Gill is leading his team from the very front and was unbeaten on 60 at the time. Wriddhiman Saha was out for 11 while Kane Williamson scored 26 in his first game of the season.

Sai Sudharsan got the start but could not capitalise on it and was out for 33. GT are eyeing their third win of the season. Playing under a new captain this season, they have started the season on a promising note. They have won two of their first three games.

The Titans started their season with a six-run win over Mumbai Indians before suffering a 63-run loss against Chennai Super Kings. However, they quickly bounced back with a convincing seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
