Ishan Kishan, a teenage player, left the Indian team ahead of the series against South Africa, citing mental exhaustion. Despite the cricket player’s team administration’s excuse, he has not yet made himself available for selection. The stumper-batter was reportedly unhappy with Jitesh Sharma’s T20I selection in the midst of this, which may eventually make his spot in the playing XI more difficult to secure.
Ishan Kishan hasn’t shown up for Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy in the meantime. He is set to make a comeback during the Indian Premier League. He is currently training at Reliance Stadium in Baroda with Hardik and Krunal Pandya.
At the moment, Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav appear to be the favorites to open for India, followed by Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. As a result, Ishan Kishan is unable to play in the top order, and the team management encouraged Jitesh, who can deal vicious blows to opponents lower in the order. Kishan didn’t like the change and desired to be removed from the team, according to RevSportz.
Ishan Kishan is still out of the picture.
In the meantime, Jitesh has performed admirably in the few chances he has had thus far. In an effort to guarantee his spot in the forthcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to start on June 1, the cricket player also possesses excellent keeping skills. Jitesh will, however, need to have a remarkable IPL season for the Punjab Kings in order to achieve that. Although he performed admirably in the previous competition, he will need to improve because Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul, among others, will be challenging him for a berth on the team.
Rahul Dravid, the head coach of India, has declared that Kishan will not be considered for the three remaining Test matches against England because he has not yet resumed playing cricket professionally following his departure from South Africa.
