England v India - 3rd Vitality International T20

2. Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan is a left-handed wicketkeeper batsman who plays for Jharkhand in the domestic circuit. Kishan captained India at the Under-19 World Cup in 2016 in Bangladesh, where his team lost in the final to the West Indies.

He impressed Mumbai Indians with his domestic performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed mushtaq Ali Trophy. Mumbai Indians bid a whooping 6.2 crores to secure his services in the auction. He batted brilliantly in the IPL for Mumbai, with a lightning innings of 62 of just 21 balls against KKR the pick of the lot. He has matured a lot and adjusted really well according to the situation of the game and his batting position.

In this teamr he would be a brilliant option for opening. He will also give a left-hand and right hand combination for opening to maximize powerplays.

About the author

Cricket was always like a religion for me since my childhood. It first caught my attention in the Kolkata test vs Australia and when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia, my fascination for the game has reached new heights.
My current drug is league cricket especially IPL and CPL. I loved when these formats proved every critics wrong.
I also love to analyse the game from data point of view and I would like to thank Sportskeeda for giving me this opportunity for expressing views on the game an its future.
