IPL 2018 Auction: 5 players who were lucky to go for a higher price than expected

#4 Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan grabbed attention after his quick-fire 61-run knock against SRH

Ishan Kishan is the next hotshot wicket-keeper batsman to come out of Jharkhand after MS Dhoni. Kishan captained the Indian team in the Under-19 World Cup, which ended as the runners-up in 2016.

He was picked up by Gujarat Lions the same year for Rs. 35 lakhs. It turned out to be an ordinary season for him, as he could only manage 42 runs in 5 matches.

It was in 2017, that the Jharkhand lad grabbed attention owing to his quick-fire 61-run knock off 40 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad. However, there were no extraordinary performances form his side that necessarily warranted a 6.2 core bid from Mumbai Indians, at more than 200 times his previous price.
