The Beginnings

Ishan Kishan, a gifted left-handed opener, first tasted the limelight in 2016 when he was entrusted with leading the India under-19 team in the U-19 World Cup held in Dhaka. Although he had a rather modest performance with the bat, amassing 73 runs in six innings, this was a tournament where Rishabh Pant was hogging the spotlight with his prolific run-scoring. Nevertheless, Kishan’s leadership steered India into the finals.

However, the real turning point in Kishan’s career occurred during the subsequent domestic Ranji season. He emerged as Jharkhand’s highest run-scorer, accumulating a whopping 799 runs. A highlight of this extraordinary run was his career-best 273 against Delhi, which remains the highest individual score by a Jharkhand batsman to date.

The Post-Dhoni Era

In the post-Dhoni era of Indian cricket, Kishan has emerged as a prominent contender among the wicketkeeper-batsmen vying for the coveted spot left vacant by the legendary captain.

IPL Stardom

Kishan’s journey in the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been a remarkable one, much like his career. Hailing from Jharkhand, he shares a familiar narrative of a young wicketkeeper-batsman known for his aggressive brand of cricket, not too dissimilar to Dhoni himself.

In 2017, he made heads turn with his explosive lower-order batting for the Gujarat Lions. His aggressive style of play garnered attention, and in the 2018 IPL auctions, he found himself in the middle of a bidding war. The Mumbai Indians eventually secured his services for a hefty INR 6.2 crores.

Though his form in the 2018 IPL season wavered through the middle, flashes of his brilliance continued to captivate the audience. A notable instance was his whirlwind 21-ball 62 against the Kolkata Knight Riders, featuring four consecutive sixes off Kuldeep Yadav. While consistency might not have been his strongest suit, he ended the season with an impressive strike rate of nearly 150.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving landscape of Indian cricket, Ishan Kishan’s journey is a testament to the talent that lurks in every corner of the country. From leading the under-19 team to domestic dominance and an IPL stint, Kishan’s rise as a wicketkeeper-batsman exemplifies his unyielding spirit and determination. As he waits in the wings to potentially fill Dhoni’s shoes, his story is one that inspires cricket enthusiasts nationwide.
