Jitesh Sharma 'Heartbroken' Over T20 World Cup Snub, Agrees with Selectors' Reasoning

• India wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma was 'heartbroken' after being omitted from the 2026 T20 World Cup squad.
• He was unaware of the snub until the last minute but accepted the explanation from chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
• Agarkar stated the decision was not Jitesh's fault, but a return to the pre-Asia Cup 2025 combination with Sanju Samson as first-choice opener/wicketkeeper.
• Ishan Kishan was called up as backup gloveman and top-order batter, also rewarded for leading Jharkhand to Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
• Jitesh found solace by spending time with family and speaking to RCB batting coach Dinesh Karthik.
