India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru's star wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma took part in a 'Name your favourite' segment, 'Rapid Fire' contest, and a 'One word, one cricketer' segment during an exclusive chat with CricTracker.

Meanwhile, Jitesh was recently excluded from India’s T20 World Cup squad, despite beeing seen as a finisher. While selectors cited team combination as the reason. Following his omission, Jitesh smashed a 33-ball 73 for Baroda in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

During the 'Rapid Fire' round, Sharma picked Virat Kohli’s cover drive or MS Dhoni’s Helicopter shot. In the same section, he once again went with Kohli's aggressive on-field nature over the legendary skipper, Dhoni's calm demeanor. Furthermore, during the 'One word, one cricketer' segment, he labelled Kohli as stylish. Take a look at all the answers given by the 32-year-old during the three interesting segments below:
