Ishan Kishan gave it his all in the match against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The batsman hit five sixes and a few fours in seven consecutive balls.

Defending champions and co-hosts of the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup, India are well ahead of rivals Namibia in all aspects. With cricket beyond the equation on paper, Namibia had some hopes ahead of today’s game. But the ruthless Ishan Kishan gave them a reality check.

Ishan Kishan solo performance

In the sixth over of the first inning, the southpaw fired to pacer J.J. Smit. After sustaining a dot ball, the southpaw hit four sixes in a row and then hit four more sixes to end the innings. In the next over, when Kishan continued to bat, he continued the momentum with another six and a four. He needed just 20 balls to complete his half-century.

Your daily dose of cricket!

Abhishek Sharma missed India’s match against Namibia due to stomach discomfort. Sanju Samson opened the innings in his place along with Ishan. Samson finished with 22 for 8 in a short but effective knock. But it was the Jharkhand-born man who dragged the Namibian cricketer to the ground. He made 61 of 24 shots, including 6 4-pointers and 5 6-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 254.17, and was eventually sent off.

This is how Ishan Kishan hit four consecutive sixes and then hit a four in the sixth over of the first innings:

5.1: 0 runs

5.2: six runs

5.3: six runs

5.4: six runs

5.5: six runs

5.6: four runs

Ishan continues to build on this momentum:
