A month back, Ishan Kishan found himself dropped from the BCCI’s central contract list. The decision came in the wake of Kishan’s withdrawal from the test series against South Africa, citing mental fatigue. Taking a hiatus from cricket for personal reasons during the South Africa tour, Kishan made a comeback just earlier this week in the DY Patil T20 tournament.
When Kishan’s name was missing from the roster for the Tests against England, India’s coach Rahul Dravid mentioned that Kishan hadn’t signaled his availability yet. Dravid emphasised that Kishan needed to participate in domestic cricket to make a return. The team management reached out to Kishan during the England Test series, but the player expressed his unpreparedness for a return.Kishan had begun gearing up for the upcoming IPL 2024 season, redirecting his focus towards the highly anticipated tournament. So, there was a lot of drama surrounding Kishan.
Ishan Kishan’s comeback to the Indian Premier League didn’t go according to plan in a match between the Mumbai Indians and the Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. As Mumbai Indians came to Chas 169 runs in Sunday’s encounter against Gujarat Titans, Kishan got out in just four balls in the opening over, much to his sorrow. The bowler that sent Kishan packing was Azmatullah Omarzai.

Fans were so disappointed when Kishan fell early in the innings that they resorted to criticising the Mumbai Indians’ wicketkeeper-batsman on social media. With his unexpected departure, Kishan had a rough start to the IPL, which brought to light the unpredictability of the sport and the burden on players to maintain regular performances. In the last few months, Ishan Kishan has faced setbacks, including being dropped from BCCI’s central contract and a disappointing return to the Indian Premier League with Mumbai Indians. So, it’s definitely a hard time for the southpaw.
