Ishan Kishan made a stunning comeback for India. After a stellar performance in domestic cricket recently, in which he led the team to win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and captained Jharkhand in the final of the tournament, scoring a century in the all-important game, he made a fierce return to the T20I side. He was subsequently recalled to the Indian side.
Ishan Kishan has also shown his form in international matches. Scored 215 runs in the 5-match series against New Zealand, trailing only team captain Suryakumar Yadav. He scored a goal in the fifth and final T20 match in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. He scored 103 runs to help India score a mammoth score of 271 runs. Kishan has also been named in the 2026 T20 World Cup squad.
Kishan is having a great time outside cricket
Kishan was spotted in a cheerful mood as he appeared on a YouTube channel called 2 Sloggers, a popular Indian cricket content creation channel created and managed by actor/comedian Shubham Gaur. He had a great time there and reacted to some of his old videos and fun moments with teammates.
Your daily dose of cricket!
He found himself smiling again as he watched the viral video of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, which goes to show that some moments in the dressing room never get old.
While speaking in a video with Shubman Gill, he said, “Jitni gandi harkate hai Gill started karta hai aur main baas, followed karta hu, Gill bichme Bathin wala hai joh padhai mei bhi haath karega and badme bhi chille keliye on the last bench for 2 hours.” (English translation; All naughty things started with Jill and I just followed. Jill was the kind of person who would sit in the middle row, raise her hands in class like a diligent kid, and then relax on the last bench for two hours.)
Kishan’s old video resurfaces
Shubman and Kishan have always had an interesting relationship as a video during their West Indies tour went viral, where he asked Ishan Kishan: “Meri T-shirt hatake paseena chaatega (Will you take off my T-shirt and lick my sweat?)” After hearing this, Ishan Kishan was shocked and replied: “pagal wagal hai kya? (Are you crazy?).”
The famous showdown between India’s 2023 ODI series against Sri Lanka and then-captain Rohit Sharma and Gill was also featured in the podcast. In the original video, Ishan Kishan took a funny dig at Rohit’s absence from the starting XI despite scoring a historic double hundred against Bangladesh in December 2022.
When Rohit asked him why he was not playing and missing three games after scoring 200 runs, Kishan replied with a funny jab, “Bhaiya yeh to aap bataoge, captain to aap the naa, (you say brother because you are the captain)”, Rohit and Gill were shocked and all three had an interesting moment.
Ishan Kishan to start in World Cup?
Kishan will next play India’s upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup opener against the United States on February 7, 2026.
According to reports, he will start the innings in the same form he has been doing.
