Lucknow: Indian team's wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has been a topic of discussion for some time now. He first withdrew his name from the two-match Test series against South Africa and then went to Dubai to party. After this, despite BCCI's warning, Kishan did not go to play in Ranji Trophy 2024, due to which he also had to suffer the consequences. The Board of Control for Cricket in India showed him the way out of the central contract and now after this Ishaan has broken his silence on this matter and has given any reaction for the first time.
Kishan is currently a part of Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and is performing well. In the match played against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), he scored 69 runs in 34 balls and answered the people with this inning. Let us tell you that this year India also has to play T-20 World Cup and Ishaan is in the race for the 15-member team, but due to the controversy that happened before this, he was trolled a lot. Now talking about this, the left handed batsman has given a big reaction.

He said, “When I was not playing cricket, I was busy practicing. When I stayed away from playing cricket for some time, people were talking a lot about me. All kinds of things were being seen on social media, but everyone should also think that not everything is in the hands of the players.”
Kishan further said that “If a player is having a good time then he should utilize it in a better way. The only thing that was running in my mind was that I should think like the earlier Ishaan because the earlier Ishaan did not shy away from hitting shots even against good balls. As I kept playing, I learned that even in 20 over cricket there is a lot of time and in the beginning some time can be taken for it. When my performance is not good, I talk to other players and this helps me to come out of bad form.”
