Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) made a huge blunder in the initial over of their last league tournament match in IPL 2025 against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The game is very crucial for RCB as they are trying to win and finish in the top two. Stand-in skipper Jitesh Sharma employed the DRS for a clear not-out call following a nudge from pacer Nuwan Thushara. RCB Waste Review Early vs. LSG. Thushara bowled an in-swinger that hit Mitchell Marsh on the pads when he tried to play the ball. The ball was clearly seen to have hit Marsh's bat before falling on the pads. It was evident to Thushara that it was out and he glanced over to wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma to verify it. Jitesh complied with instructions and went for the check, but the review went against them. Ultra-Edge showed a clear inside edge off the bat of Marsh. RCB's ex-captain Virat Kohli did not look happy after looking at the replay. Fans observed the poor call and wrote witty responses on the internet, asking why a clear lead was questioned. pic.twitter.com/sL9Xw8my5A — Birdman (@kingbirdman22) May 27, 2025 Jitesh Sharma are you mad or what wo bat par lagi thi drs le liya peeche se Virat mana kar raha tha uski to sun leta😤😤 — 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲🫧 (@_bunnyslays) May 27, 2025 Even umpire laughing on that DRS by Jitesh 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/kYDW8uexU0 — TukTuk Academy (@TukTuk_Academy) May 27, 2025 Jitesh Sharma is Mohammed Rizwan of India😂😂 wasting review appealing in almost every ball😂😂 — Crictalks (@crickibaatkarle) May 27, 2025 First Playing xi and now this horrible DRS.. WTF is RCB doing??? — 𝐑. (@fanmahida) May 27, 2025 Also Read | Ashwin Responds to Fan’s 'Leave My Lovely CSK Family' Comment Jitesh Sharma's captaincy hasn’t been great in this game, and as a result, it has faced a lot of backlash from fans on social media. Despite having a quality swing bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the side, Jitesh handed the ball to Thushara to bowl the first over. Bhuvi, being one of the most experienced bowlers, came in to bowl the fifth over. The ball was moving well in the early overs, but Jitesh Sharma preferred to go with Krunal Pandya and Yash Dayal along with Thushara for the first three overs. Though Thushara bowled well and dismissed Breetzke, the overall powerplay did not go well for them. Fans also pointed out the errors made by Jitesh Sharma in setting the field for LSG batters. Here are some of the tweets by fans on Jitesh Sharma’s captaincy: Jitesh sharma is a poor captain, not to mention an even worse player. He didn't give the ball to Bhuvi in the powerplay, and his bowler rotation was terrible.#LSGvsRCB — Butcher (@billy_3085) May 27, 2025 Terrible bowling changes so far from Jitesh Sharma. Bowled out 3 overs of nuwan who can be generally used in death overs, while Bhuvi is introduced at the end of powerplay. Puzzling tactic.#LSGvsRCB — Gous Peer (@Gous34264267) May 27, 2025 Jitesh sharma should be dropped from leadership now,enough is enough — R. (@RohitGu33067524) May 27, 2025 Jitesh sharma is a terrible captain. — Alok Mishra (@thenameis_alok) May 27, 2025 Jitesh Sharma is a real clown captain!!Krunal gave 4 runs in an over, he is removed and bowl is given to Romario!! — Nishant Kumar (@Nigshey91) May 27, 2025
