Jitesh Sharma Breaks MS Dhoni’s Record in IPL 2025 Thriller
In one of the most thrilling matches of IPL 2025, Jitesh Sharma delivered a performance for the ages. Representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Jitesh smashed an unbeaten 85 off just 33 balls* in a high-pressure chase against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) — rewriting IPL history in the process.
Coming in at number 6, Jitesh didn’t just anchor the innings; he exploded with power hitting that left the opposition stunned and fans breathless. His knock is now the highest individual score by a number 6 or lower-order batter in a successful IPL run chase, breaking the legendary MS Dhoni’s record of 70* runs set in 2018.

"To do it under pressure, with the stakes this high... it's something special," said Jitesh after the match.
