The young Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has not been in action for Team India; notably, the 25-year-old was in the headlines a couple of weeks ago when he withdrew his name from the recently concluded two-match Test series against South Africa. The Jharkhand star was replaced by the veteran Bengal wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat in the Indian squad for the Test series against the Proteas.
Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan has made it to the headlines of social media once again; it all happened after he posted a video on his Instagram handle just an hour back. The video immediately started making rounds among the fans. Apart from that, the fans couldn’t stop themselves from coming up with a lot of hilarious reactions in the comment section of Ishan Kishan’s Instagram post.
Here's a look at the Instagram video posted by Ishan Kishan:
Speaking of cricket, Ishan Kishan made his last appearance for India in the third T20I of the five-match series against India on November 28, 2023, in Guwahati. It was India’s second group stage match against Afghanistan in the ODI World Cup 2023 in which Ishan Kishan played and opened the innings alongside skipper Rohit Sharma. He replaced his friend and young teammate Shubman Gill who couldn’t play the first two matches for India due to fever.
The young Southpaw was also at the centre of discussions recently when he was ignored from India’s squad for the ongoing three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. Team India opted to go with the youngster Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Tilak Varma; however, there was no clarity around the reasons behind Ishan Kishan’s omission from the squad for the T20I series against Afghanistan.
The doubts are still there among the cricket fans and the experts around Ishan Kishan’s place in India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.
