“Had to Go Over 200”: Kishan Reflects on SRH’s Big Total and Victory

May 24, 2025, 7:31 am

After Sunrisers Hyderabad’s (SRH) strong win against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) on Friday in Lucknow, Ishan Kishan spoke about the importance of momentum. He said it is the batter’s job to build on a good start from Abhishek and Head.

“When you get to bat first and both openers are looking in good touch, it’s your job to keep the momentum going,” he said.
“The moment I saw Abhishek and Head starting the game like that, I just knew it’s a very good wicket and we have to go over 200 at least.”

Moreover, Kishan explained that plans must change when wickets fall. “Your approach changes when wickets are falling, but you try to keep the momentum going. For that, you need to play some good shots,” he added.

He also said practice helped him play with confidence. “You get that confidence when you bat well in the practice sessions. I was just thinking of playing good shots. One side was very big and there were gaps,” he said.

Learning Despite Strong Knock

Although Kishan scored big, he still wasn’t fully happy with his performance.
“Not so happy with the performance overall. We could’ve done much better overall. I could’ve done much more for my team,” he admitted.

However, he stressed the importance of learning. “It’s a game of learning. These things happen. You just have to keep believing in yourself and keep working hard,” he added.

SRH Posts a Massive Total

As a result of Kishan’s 94 off 48 balls, which included seven fours and five sixes, SRH reached a huge total of 231/6. Aniket Verma also added a crucial cameo. Together, they gave SRH strong momentum in the first innings.

Hyderabad Secures 42-Run Victory

After that, SRH bowlers took control. Pat Cummins and Nitish Reddy bowled well to stop RCB at 189 runs. RCB fell short by 42 runs, failing to chase the target of 232.

Consequently, Kishan was named Player of the Match for his aggressive batting.

Points Table Standings

Following this match, RCB stands at third on the points table with 17 points—eight wins, four losses, and one no-result. On the other hand, SRH remains in eighth place. They have won five matches and lost seven, earning 10 points from 13 games.

Ishan Kishan Hilariously Trolls Mohammad Rizwan in Viral Video | Watch

March 27, 2025, 11:02 am

A light-hearted conversation between India’s out-of-favour batter Ishan Kishan and ex-international umpire Anil Chaudhary has gone viral on social media. In the video, Chaudhary complimented Kishan on his matured approach while appealing from behind the wickets.

Kishan retorted in his signature humorous manner, crediting his sophisticated way of refraining from unnecessary appeals—something he jokingly associated with Pakistan’s wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan.

Hilarious Take of Ishan Kishan on Appealing

During their conversation, Chaudhary pointed out how Kishan had changed his style over the years.

“You played so many games under my umpiring. You have grown up now. You also appeal when required. Earlier, you used to appeal a lot. How did this change come?” asked Chaudhary.

Kishan, in his characteristic playful manner, responded with a sharp observation.

“Mujhe lagta hai umpire log smart ho gaye hain. Har baar karenge (appeal) toh phir unn log out ko bhi not out de denge. Isse achha ek baar karo, jab hai tab call karo, aap log ko bhi confidence rahega ki sahi time pe hi call karte hain… Warna abhi (Mohammad) Rizwan type kuch karunga toh phir aap log ek bhi baar nahi denge (out) [I think the umpires have become smarter. If they keep doing it repeatedly, they might even start giving out decisions as not out. It’s better to make the call just once and at the right time so that even you (umpires) have confidence in your decision. Otherwise, if I do something like Rizwan, then you might give it not out despite being out],” he said.

Ishan Kishan Opines About Umpiring

Asked to comment on umpiring standards, Kishan gave his frank take.

“To be very honest, there are certain umpires we are happy to see officiating in matches. However, there is always room for improvement. I feel that the new umpires coming in should be more confident while making decisions. They should not overthink the consequences, but if they believe a batter is out, they should make the call without being influenced by appeals or other factors.”

Kishan’s comments and the banter with Chaudhary have elicited laughter from fans, with the video widely shared on social media. The exchange reflects the light-hearted nature of Kishan while cleverly pointing out the psychology involved in appealing in cricket.

Ishan Kishan Joins Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 11.25 Crore, MI No Longer In The Race

November 24, 2024, 9:31 pm

Sunrisers Hyderabad strengthened their batting lineup by securing Ishan Kishan for INR 11.25 crore during the IPL 2025 auction, marking the end of his seven-season stint with Mumbai Indians. Kishan, now set to join an explosive top order alongside Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head, adds significant firepower to SRH’s batting.

While Punjab Kings also showed interest, it was SRH’s late bids that clinched the deal. Despite being one of the top Indian batters in the auction pool, Kishan’s value didn’t reach the levels of players like Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer, and Venkatesh Iyer.

Kishan’s IPL career includes 2644 runs from 105 matches, with his best season in 2020, where he scored 516 runs and helped MI win the title. However, his strike rate of 135 has been a concern for some franchises. With SRH, Kishan will join a potent lineup, replacing Rahul Tripathi, and could play a key role in the team’s quest for IPL success.

Mumbai Indians will now need to find a new opening option, with several talented players still available in the auction. Despite Kishan’s departure, MI’s middle order remains strong with Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Hardik Pandya, while Jasprit Bumrah continues to shine in all formats.

MI’s first purchase of the night was Trent Boult, who was acquired for INR 12.5 crore, marking their only major move in the auction.

BCCI’s Oversight Removes KL Rahul From Wicketkeeper Contention For Bangladesh Test Series

August 21, 2024, 11:08 pm

With Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan selected for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, starting September 5, there was speculation that the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee might face a tough decision in choosing the two wicketkeepers for the Test series against Bangladesh. Five potential candidates were believed to be in contention for these spots in the Indian Test team. However, the BCCI, in a move that went largely unnoticed but highlighted by former India cricketer Aakash Chopra, has already eliminated one contender.

Following Rishabh Pant’s accident in December 2022, KS Bharat was seen as the primary replacement for Pant in the Test team. Despite his efforts, Bharat struggled in the home series against Australia and the WTC final. Ishan Kishan, who debuted in the West Indies tour and scored a maiden fifty, was then selected for the South Africa tour. However, Kishan withdrew due to mental health issues, leading to KL Rahul being assigned the wicketkeeping role temporarily. Although Rahul performed adequately with the gloves, the team management reverted to Bharat for the home series against England and gave Dhruv Jurel a chance.

KL Rahul’s potential as a wicketkeeper for the Test series seems to be in question. Aakash Chopra noted on his YouTube channel that Rahul, listed in Team A for the Duleep Trophy, does not have ‘WK’ (wicketkeeper) next to his name. Chopra speculated that Jurel would likely take on the wicketkeeping duties, implying Rahul would only be used as a batsman.

Chopra remarked, “KL Rahul cannot be a wicketkeeper. I mean you don’t even have ‘WK’ written after his name in the squad list. And since you picked Dhruv Jurel in that same team, it means, he will be the keeper. So, Rahul is no longer your keeper for Test cricket. And it is okay because he came at a time when Rishabh wasn’t there, you will definitely put Rahul in the playing XI. He is also not the captain. He could have been in a different team as well. He or Pant could have been the captain instead of Abhimanyu Easwaran, but neither are captaincy candidates anymore,” he said.

However, it is worth noting that neither Jurel nor Pant is listed with ‘WK’ next to their names in the BCCI’s squad list released earlier this month.

Ishan Kishan Out of India’s Squad for Sri Lanka Tour After Missing Central Contract; Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul Back

July 18, 2024, 3:34 pm

The selection of India’s squad for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka is unlikely to present any major surprises. The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee, in consultation with head coach Gautam Gambhir, is expected to stick with most players from last year’s ODI World Cup squad, with a few notable exceptions.

Rohit Sharma will return as captain after initially requesting a break following an intense six-month period. Gambhir persuaded Rohit to lead the team, aiming to establish a new direction under his management. With Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Shami unavailable due to rest and injuries, Rishabh Pant is set to replace Ishan Kishan in the squad. Kishan’s absence stems from his decision to leave the South Africa tour for personal reasons, against the wishes of then-head coach Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma. Kishan’s repeated disregard for BCCI’s instructions to play domestic cricket to prove his fitness led to him being dropped from central contracts and excluded from subsequent selections.

Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are expected to return to the squad. Despite losing his national contract for missing domestic cricket, Iyer will make a comeback, as he captained the IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders, with Gambhir serving as the team mentor. KL Rahul’s inclusion will raise questions about whether he remains the first-choice keeper now that Rishabh Pant has regained full fitness.

The ODI series against Sri Lanka, beginning on August 2, is part of India’s preparation for the Champions Trophy in February 2025, with six ODIs scheduled before the tournament, including three against England next year. The management’s goal is to build a roadmap under Rohit Sharma’s leadership for the upcoming challenges.

Ishan Kishan Remembers Hardik Pandya’s Words Before T20 World Cup, Ek baar…

July 7, 2024, 1:01 pm

In an exclusive interview with Indian Express, Indian player Ishan Kishan recently recalled all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s words before the world cup.

Throwing light on Hardik Pandya’s words Ishan Kishan said, ‘I had a gut feeling that he (Pandya) was saving it all for the World Cup. I will never forget his words: ‘Ek baar performance aa jaaye fir jo aaj gaali de rahe wahi taaliyaan bajayenge. This is what he told me when I was also going through a really tough time. He said, ‘let people talk, we will do our best and give 100 percent to the game we love.’

Later during the course of the interview, Ishan also emphasized that Pandya never complained about fans’ reaction and instead, he took this in his stride.

Speaking about his reaction, Ishan said, ‘I never heard him cribbing ki yaar, aisa kyun ho raha hai mere saath. He was calm about it, took it in a very sporting manner, and just focused on the game.’

Furthermore, he also remembered the times when Hardik calmly reacted to trolling and revealed,

‘I remember Hardik bhai saying once during the IPL, ‘jo haath mey nahi hai uske baare mey kya sochna, log bol rahe hai kyu bol rahe, wo sab control nahi kar sakte…the same bunch that has criticised me will celebrate me in the future and I just have to take it in a very sporting manner.’

Training With Hardik Pandya For T20 World Cup

While remembering their time together, Ishan Kishan also claimed, that Hardik only cared about T20 world cup and was fully dedicated to his training. Moreover, he didn’t compromise with his work ethic during that time.

‘He was heartbroken after he got injured during the ODI World Cup. He was really focused on the T20 World Cup. Although he never said it, the intensity with which he used to train and practise had ‘tu dekh mai karta hun’ (you see what I will do) written all over it. I’ve trained with him. He has never compromised with his work ethic, and it showed during the World Cup’

In conclusion, Ishan Kishan asserted, that Hardik Pandya did not deserve tough time from fans that much.

Meanwhile in the T20 World Cup final, Hardik Pandya played a crucial role in making lift the world cup trophy after 11 years.

With both Bat and Ball, Pandya performed tremendously well. With Bat, he scored 144 runs from 6 innings at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 151.57. In addition, he also has a half-century in his name.

While with the ball, the 30-year-old man picked up wickets of dangerous players like Heinrich Klaasen (52 off 27) and David Miller (21 off 17). Thus, defending 16 runs of the final over.

IPL 2024: Mumbai Indians Wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan Reprimanded

April 28, 2024, 1:49 pm

Mumbai Indians’ wicketkeeper-batsman, Ishan Kishan, was reprimanded and fined 10% of his match fees for violating the IPL Code of Conduct during their IPL 2024 fixture against Delhi Capitals at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.

Kishan was found guilty of a Level 1 offence according to Article 2.2 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct. He acknowledged the violation and accepted the penalties imposed by the Match Referee. The decision of the Match Referee for Level 1 breaches of the Code of Conduct is deemed conclusive and obligatory.

Article 2.2 encompasses any conduct beyond typical cricket actions, such as striking or kicking the stumps, as well as any actions that intentionally, recklessly, or negligently (even if accidental) cause damage to advertising boards, boundary fences, dressing room doors, mirrors, windows, and other infrastructure. It also covers the misuse or abuse of cricket equipment, attire, ground equipment, or fixtures during a match. Although the specific offense committed by Kishan was not specified by the IPL organizers, it fell under the provisions outlined in Article 2.2.

In the game, Jake Fraser-McGurk’s commanding innings, supported by the formidable pace attack of Rasikh Dar Salam, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed, led Delhi Capitals (DC) to a 10-run victory over Mumbai Indians in their IPL 2024 encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.

Rasikh emerged as the standout performer for the home team, making a significant impact as a substitute and claiming figures of 3 for 34 in a high-scoring encounter, while Mukesh also contributed with a three-wicket haul. Meanwhile, for Mumbai Indians (MI), Tilak Varma showcased his batting prowess with a score of 63 runs, while skipper Hardik Pandya added 46 runs to the team’s total.

Mumbai’s chase began aggressively with Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan confidently finding boundaries. In the second over, Khaleel Ahmed faced the brunt of their onslaught, conceding 14 runs, including three consecutive boundaries from Kishan.

However, Khaleel provided Delhi Capitals (DC) with their breakthrough by dismissing Rohit Sharma for 8 runs. Rohit attempted to hit a boundary but mistimed his shot, resulting in the ball going straight into the hands of Shai Hope at mid-off.

In the fifth over, Mukesh Kumar made an impressive entry into the action by claiming the crucial wicket of Kishan for 20 runs. Khaleel Ahmed secured his second dismissal by removing the formidable Suryakumar Yadav for 26. Surya elegantly placed a shot towards mid-off, but Lizaad Williams intervened with a superb catch.

Following the loss of three wickets in quick succession, Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma began their partnership cautiously yet with a touch of aggression. The pair confidently scored 10 runs off Axar Patel’s over, highlighted by a remarkable six from Pandya. Pandya, displaying excellent form, then dominated Kuldeep Yadav in the 9th over, smashing three boundaries and a six to accumulate 19 runs.

Kapil Dev backs BCCI for dropping players from annual contract for skipping domestic cricket

March 2, 2024, 5:14 pm

Kapil Dev, the man who led Team India to its first One Day International World Cup win, has come out in support of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for taking a string stand on ensuring international players do not let go of their duties for their domestic teams.

When the BCCI revealed their yearly player retainership 2023–24 season for the senior men’s squad, it had two big names missing – Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan. The duo had not represented their domestic teams in different tournament even though they had been released from the national team. Inbstead they were busy practicing to play in the lucrative Indian Premier League, the T20 tournament.

“It is recommended that all athletes prioritize playing domestic cricket when they are not representing their country,” the BCCI stated in a stern message while releasing the player retainership for the 2023–24 season.

According to Kapil Dev, the decision to penalise players who skip domestic cricket without nay valid reason will greatly benefit Indian cricket. “I was going through the last few weeks of cricket in India. The cricket board’s move towards first-class cricket makes me very delighted,” he said in an interview with the PTI.

The former captain is thrilled with the idea, which he believes would further improve cricket in the nation, and believes that international players should play for their respective domestic teams when they are not representing their country. “The boys ought to play that; it’s beneficial to the nation.” I am glad about anything that is beneficial to the nation,” he continued.

Additionally, Kapil believes that the nation’s progress transcends any one person’s name. “A few players may suffer, but accept it. Nobody is greater than the nation. Excellent work,” he said.

Dhoni, Zaheer Khan, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar in Jamnagar for Anant-Radhika pre-wedding festivities

March 1, 2024, 5:23 pm

The pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant at Jamnagar in Gujarat is witnessing a beeline of celebrities including those from other countries. Apart from business tycoons and entertainment personalities, several sport stars including cricketers, too, have reached Jamnagar for the same. Former Indian cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his wife Sakshi, former fast bowler Zaheer Khan and his wife, actress-model Sagarika Ghatge, reached Jamnagar on Friday.

Two cricketers, who have been in the news recently not for their exploits on the field but for keeping their IPL ambitions above their duty for their state teams, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan, too, are in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding celebrations. The duo has been dropped from the BCCI central players contract recently. Suryakumar and his wife, Devisha Shetty, arrived in Jamnagar on Friday morning.

Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s youngest son Anant Ambani will industrialist Viren Merchant’s daughter Radhika Merchant, later in 2024.

Two foreign cricketers – former West Indies captain Dwayne Bravo and Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan – have also reached Jamnagar for the occasion.

Ishan-Shreyas out of BCCI central contract, Irfan Pathan sees red

February 29, 2024, 4:38 pm

On Thursday, Irfan Pathan, a former fast bowler for India, expressed concerns regarding the BCCI’s decision to remove Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from central contracts. He also brought up the example of Hardik Pandya, who has chosen his domestic and international commitments carefully but is still an important member of the national team.

The former all-rounder expressed his optimism for Kishan and Iyer’s successful returns for Team India on X, formerly known as Twitter. Even when the BCCI put the name of star all-rounder Pandya on the contract list, he said that the standards had to apply to everyone.

“They are talented cricketers, both Shreyas and Ishan. Hoping they bounce back and come back stronger. If players like Hardik don’t want to play red-ball cricket, should he and others like him participate in white-ball domestic cricket when they aren’t on national duty? If this doesn’t apply to all, then Indian cricket won’t achieve the desired results!” Pathan posted on X.

The 2023–24 season’s contracts were revealed on Wednesday by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Kishan and Iyer were two of the top names left off of the list of annual player contracts.

“Please note that Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan were not considered for the annual contracts in this round of recommendations,” BCCI said in their statement.

The star all-rounder Pandya, who has not played for Men in Blue since suffering an injury in a match against Bangladesh World Cup 2023 match, held on to Grade A contract.

In last year’s retainer, Iyer was in Grade B while Kishan was part of Grade C.

The last time Ishan played for India was in the T20I format against Australia in Guwahati, following that he failed to make his place in the first eleven. The 25-year-old was in the T20I squad in South Africa in December 2023 but did not take part in any of the three games.

On the other hand, Iyer was dropped from the India squad for the last three Tests after playing the first two Test of the five-match series against England where he managed to score just 35 runs in the matches played at Hyderabad and Vizag.

Meanwhile, the elite bracket, Grade A+, remains the same for the year with captain Rohit Sharma, veteran batter Virat Kohli, pacer Jasprit Bumrah and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as the top earners.

Veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, speedster Mohammed Shami, and Pandya retained their Grade A contracts, while KL Rahul, Mohammed Siraj, and Shubman Gill moved up from Grade B last year.

The top-ranked T20I hitter, Suryakumar Yadav is in Grade B along with rising phenom Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has received his maiden BCCI central contract. (ANI)
