Star batsman and wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan of India has had an unpredictable season thus far. The 26-year-old neglected to play local cricket and concentrated only on the IPL (Indian Premier League), thus he was not included in the list of central contracts for the BCCI.
But with the current All India Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament, he returned to red-ball cricket. After scoring a double century and playing brilliantly, Ishan Kishan, representing Jharkhand, made an amazing return to the longest format.
His goal in the second match against the Hyderabad Cricket Association was to maintain his current form. Jharkhand took to the pitch first in the match, but Kishan was gone after scoring one run off of eleven deliveries, so he was unable to have any influence.
For Hyderabad, though, the first half of the innings attracted a lot of attention. Ishan Kishan advanced from his position maintaining wickets to take bowling duties.
Despite failing to claim any wickets throughout his two overs of bowling, Kishan let up five runs. On social media, the same video clip has become extremely popular.
