Ishan Kishan was expected to be crucial in the five-match Twenty20 International series against Australia, even if all of the senior cricket players were not present. But Ishan Kishan was overlooked once Shreyas Iyer returned, which irritated former cricket player Ajay Jadeja. He questioned the strategies used by the team management, claiming that the Southpaw is a certain match-winner and that he ought to have been in the starting lineup for the final two Twenty20 Internationals of the series.
Jadeja feels that Ishan Kishan should have been given the chance in the T20I series because he didn’t participate in any matches during the just-finished ODI World Cup. He said that being turned down quickly is not a good thing for Indian cricket players, and he wondered how long Ishan’s trials would last since he hasn’t established himself as a regular player.
“Immediately following the World Cup, there was a series. After participating in three matches, Ishan Kishan left.
three battles, was he truly so exhausted that he required rest? He didn’t even participate in many World Cup games. He was rightfully included in the starting lineup for the opening World Cup games. On a good day, how many Indian players have amassed a double-century?
On his day, he has the ability to alter the outcome of the game. When is he going to prepare? Will you continuously put him on trial? What is the number of games he has played in the past two years? The issue with Indian cricket is not new; it has long existed that we reject guys rather than choose them,” Jadeja told Sports Tak.
In the meantime, the 25-year-old had a spectacular start to the Twenty20 International series in Visakhapatnam, scoring 58 runs off just 39 deliveries. A stumper-batter in Thiruvananthapuram even scored a half-century in the series’ second match. But after he couldn’t get going in the Guwahati T20I, the cricketer was benched in favor of Shreyas. But for the forthcoming series against South Africa, he has been called up.
