The recent IPL match between the Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings turned into a spectacle off the field when the team's vice-captaincy situation took center stage.

As the controversy unfolded, speculations about Jitesh Sharma's role as the vice-captain continued to swirl. Fans and cricket enthusiasts took to social media to express their opinions, with some labeling Punjab Kings as a 'clown franchise' for the unusual move. The team's decision to send Sam Curran for the toss instead of Jitesh Sharma further fueled the confusion, leading to a wave of mixed reactions among supporters. Despite the chaos, the Punjab Kings stood by their choice, emphasizing that Jitesh Sharma was not officially designated as the vice-captain, ensuring clarity amidst the chaos.

In a surprising turn of events, it was revealed that Jitesh Sharma's involvement in the pre-season captain's photoshoot had inadvertently created the misconception of him being the vice-captain. The team's strategic decision to have Sam Curran lead the side in Shikhar Dhawan's absence was met with both praise and criticism, highlighting the unpredictability and drama that often accompanies the IPL season. As the dust settled, the Punjab Kings issued a formal clarification, putting an end to the speculation surrounding Jitesh Sharma's role within the team.
