IPL 2026: Why is Ishan Kishan so special? Gautam Gambhir told his heart's story

Ishan Kishan: Ishan Kishan has made a wonderful comeback after being out of Team India for almost two years. First he batted brilliantly in the T20 series against New Zealand and then he made India the champion by performing brilliantly in the T20 World Cup. However, in the eyes of Gautam Gambhir, this player is not special because of his good performance in the T20 World Cup 2026, rather his character is such that Gautam Gambhir likes it a lot.

The head coach of Team India himself told why this player is so special?

Why is Ishan Kishan special?

Gautam Gambhir In a special conversation with RevSportz, Ishan Kishan's attitude after his return is amazing. He said, 'I will not talk about what Ishan Kishan did in the T20 World Cup but I would definitely like to say that it is not easy to make a comeback. I myself have gone through such situations. After making a comeback, you are more nervous than on debut.

Ishan Kishan played the first ball of Jacob Duffy after the comeback and he hit the same ball straight over the bowler's head for a four. This shows his character. His style shows how quickly he adapted to the team's thinking. If he had played 5-6 balls comfortably then I would have had no problem but he did not do that.

Gautam Gambhir further said, 'That is why I say that Indian cricket is lucky that it has such players. Not just Ishan Kishan, we have many other good wicketkeeper batsmen who play well with the white ball.'

Ishan Kishan became the captain

Ishan Kishan will now also be seen captaining in IPL 2026.

This explosive left-handed batsman has been made the captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Actually, Pat Cummins is not fit yet due to injury and it is difficult for him to play in the initial phase, which is why Ishan Kishan has been given the captaincy. Recently, Jharkhand won the Vijay Hazare Trophy under the captaincy of Ishan Kishan.
