Ishan Kishan made his comeback to competitive cricket on Tuesday, featuring for RBI in the 18th DY Patil T20 Cup 2024 match against Route Mobile Limited.

However, his return did not yield the desired results for his team, as they suffered a significant 89-run defeat against Route Mobile Limited.

In the match, Kishan contributed to one dismissal by stumping Sumit Dhekale off the bowling of Sayan Mondal at the DY Patil University Ground. Despite his efforts behind the stumps, Kishan's primary impact came with the bat, where he provided some entertainment for the spectators.

Route batted first and posted 192 for eight in their 20 overs thanks to Aayush Vartan's 54 off 31 balls with five boundaries and three sixes. Dhekale made 42 off just 17 balls with one boundary and five sixes. In their response RBI self-destructed as they were shot out for just 103 in 16.3 overs. For Route the best bowler was Badrey Alam (5-20)

At the Stadium meanwhile CAG posted 170 off their allotted 20 overs against Indian Oil. Skipper R Sanjay (40) and his partner Varun Lavande (68: 46b, 5x4, 3x6) shared a 88 run opening stand. For Indian Oil the best bowler was Himanshu Sharma (4-32). The chase for Indian Oil was being fashioned by Akshay Raghuvanshi (53: 32b, 3x4, 4x6) and his 54 run stand with skipper Aditya Tare (37). But the middle and late order collapsed without a fight handing CAG a narrow two run win.

Earlier in the morning Mumbai Customs made a confident start with a nine-wicket win over Nirlon Sports Club at the DY Patil Stadium.
