Born July 18, 1998, in Jharkhand, Kishan in 2016 created a name for himself as the captain of India’s Under-19 team at the World Cup. Kishan made sure he worked his way up the rankings with some solid performances after a low-key tournament with the bat, and it showed in his IPL contracts in the last couple of years. As a result, with Dhoni expected to retire after the World Cup later this year, the 20-year-old got a chance to play for India. Here are some of his fascinating facts that will leave you ‘wow’.
1. Ishan said in an interview that he was never serious about cricket and only played it for fun.
2. During his playing days, Raj Kishan took cricket more seriously than Ishan. Ishan, on the other hand, was always regarded as a remarkable talent by Raj. Raj, according to Ishan, stopped playing cricket so that he could improve as a player.
3. ‘’I dropped out of school to pursue cricket’’
We’ve met a number of cricketers who have suffered in life and have been unable to cope with a variety of issues. Ishan Kishan is an example of this. The Patna-born cricketer was unable to strike a balance between his schooling and his sport. As a result, he was forced to drop out of school due to a lack of attendance. He attended Delhi Public School, a prestigious institution. However, due to his demanding cricket schedule, he was unable to balance both and consequently abandoned his studies.
4. Ishan likes to bat at number one and bat against spinners after facing pacers.
5. Ishan Kishan’s IPL career got off to a bad start. In his first season, he could only muster 42 runs in five innings. He had a lot of starts in 2017, but he couldn’t convert them. Kishan, on the other hand, became the third-youngest player in the IPL to register a fifty in the final game of the group stages (he is currently the fourth).
6. He holds the record for the best individual score by a Jharkhand player in the Ranji Trophy (273).Ishan Kishan found his stride in the Ranji season after a poor Under-19 World Cup campaign. He batted 799 times for a 57.07 average. In a game against Delhi that season, he scored a brilliant 273 runs. In the history of the Ranji Trophy, that was the greatest score by a Jharkhand player.
In his cricket career, Ishan Kishan has blazed the road.
