Ishan Kishan’s Road to Redemption: Strong Comeback Efforts and Message to BCCI
From Highs to Lows: Kishan’s Cricket Journey
Ishan Kishan’s career has been marked by dramatic fluctuations. His remarkable double century in ODIs, scored in just 126 balls, initially set him apart as a key player, eclipsing stars like Shikhar Dhawan and Sanju Samson and positioning him as a competitor to Shubman Gill.
A Tumultuous Year: Absence and Setbacks
Despite his promising start, Kishan faced a setback during India’s 2023 tour of South Africa, where personal issues led to his departure from the series. His subsequent absence from the national team was exacerbated by his choice to skip domestic cricket, resulting in the termination of his central contract by the BCCI in March.
A Determined Comeback: Domestic Performances
Kishan’s resolve to return was evident as he made himself available for domestic cricket. His impressive performances included a century in the Buchi Babu tournament against Madhya Pradesh, with scores of 114 and 41. Although a groin injury prevented him from participating in the first round of the Duleep Trophy, he made a strong return in Round 2, scoring another century for India C.
A Clear Message: ‘Unfinished Business’
Kishan’s celebration and his Instagram post with the caption “Unfinished business” were clear indications of his intent to rejoin the national squad. His message was directed at the BCCI and head coach Gautam Gambhir, signaling his readiness to contribute to the team once again.
Growing Support: Social Media Buzz
The call for Kishan’s return has gained momentum on social media, with hashtags like “Bring Back Ishan Kishan” trending. This online support reflects a growing desire among fans and experts for his reintegration into the Indian team.
