Dinesh Karthik steps in to clarify about Jitesh Sharma being denied entry to the Lord’s
Recently, a video clip went viral showing Indian player Jitesh Sharma being denied entry to the Lord’s Cricket Ground during India’s clash with England in the third Test at Lord’s. However, former Indian wicketkeeper-batter and commentator Dinesh Karthik has stepped in to clarify the incident and put the rumours to rest. Karthik explained that the entrance shown in the video was not to the Lord’s, but rather to the media centre. Karthik, who is also part of the commentary panel for the five-match series, stated that he had called Jitesh to the commentary box, where he met him and went together.
“These are some issues with social media that a lot face. I invited Jitesh to the comm box, he had come, and I came and met him down and took him to the comm box and he met everyone there. Btw this is below the media center, not the entrance to the ground," Karthik wrote on X.
Jitesh Sharma, a rising wicketkeeper-batter, has played nine T20Is for India. He has shown promising signs, playing good innings. Talking about India’s Test series against England, England are leading the five-match series 2-1 after beating India in the second game by 22 runs.
