The Boy Who Refused to Give Up: The opener ishan kishan , who returned to the Indian team after nearly two years, proved his worth by playing a crucial innings of 77 runs against Pakistan.
There’s a saying in the cricket world that if an Indian cricketer wants to be a hero, he must perform well against Pakistan. And opener Ishan Kishan has accomplished just that.
In the T20 World Cup, he became the hero of India’s victory by scoring a blistering 77 runs in 44 balls against Pakistan, hitting 10 fours and three sixes.
The special thing is that until a few months ago, he was far away from international cricket, but today he is a key player in the team.
His performance unlocked the doors of destiny.
The last two years were very bad for Ishan, and he was suddenly dropped from the Indian team. Reports emerged that his indiscipline and poor behavior had not gone down well with the team management.
The BCCI even dropped him from his annual contract, but Ishan returned with a strong performance in domestic cricket.
The secret to success… improvement in technique and mental strength
According to former experts, to make a comeback in Team India, Ishan Kishan not only improved his technique but also strengthened himself mentally to handle every situation.
He also learnt from former wicketkeeper Kiran More. Six months ago, when the team was getting ready for T-20, no one even thought about Ishan Kishan. Along with Abhishek, the names of Shubman Gill and Sanju Samson were at the forefront, but the poor performance of both of them gave Ishan the opportunity.
