After the 2025 IPL concluded, the Vidarbha Pro T20 League is ready to take centre stage from June 5 to 15. Six teams will go head-to-head at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur, in 18 matches. The player to keep an eye on is Jitesh Sharma, recently crowned IPL champion with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). He’ll be leading the NECO Master Blaster in this tournament.
Jitesh Sharma had a wonderful season with RCB, accumulating 261 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 176.35 and an average of 37.28, including one half-century. He struck 24 fours and 17 sixes during the course of the IPL and was a major contributor in helping RCB clinch their maiden-ever IPL trophy after 18 years.
He has been looking forward to continuing his rich vein of form and extracting a title for his new team. They will play their first match in this league against Bharat Rangers on June 6 at 2:45 PM IST. Meanwhile, in the opening game of the Vidarbha Pro T20 League, Pagariya Strikers take on Nagpur Titans.
