Ishan Kishan Shines in County Championship with Impressive Performances

Ishan Kishan's Impact in County Championship

Ishan Kishan, the wicket-keeper batsman for Team India, is making a significant impression in the County Championship while playing for Nottinghamshire. In just two innings on English turf, he has showcased his talent by scoring 87 runs against Yorkshire and following it up with 77 runs against Somerset, demonstrating his prowess against their bowling attack. In addition to his batting skills, Ishan also ventured into bowling, where he was seen emulating the styles of cricket legends MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, and Shane Warne during one of his overs.

A Unique Bowling Experiment

Typically known for his wicket-keeping duties, Ishan surprised everyone by taking off his gloves to bowl. During his over, he experimented with various bowling techniques, starting with an off-spin reminiscent of Harbhajan Singh. He also attempted to replicate MS Dhoni's bowling action and concluded his over by mimicking Shane Warne's iconic style. The County Championship shared a video capturing these moments on their social media platforms.

Kishan's Return to Central Contract

Ishan Kishan has made a comeback to the central contract after a hiatus. His last appearance for India was in a Test match against the West Indies in 2023, after which he faced exclusion from the team. Despite this, he had a decent performance in IPL 2025, accumulating 354 runs over 14 matches while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has categorized him in Grade C.
