Kishan’s comeback in domestic cricket

Kishan’s participation in domestic cricket holds special significance, particularly given the turbulent year he’s experienced. Earlier in 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) excluded Kishan from its central contracts list after the wicket-keeper batter declined to participate in the latter stages of the Ranji Trophy, despite multiple instructions from the board. This decision followed Kishan’s earlier choice to opt out of India’s Test series against South Africa, citing mental health reasons, which kept him off the field for several months. Kishan’s last appearance for the national team was in the T20I series against Australia in November 2023.

The Buchi Babu cricket tournament marks Kishan’s return to competitive cricket, and his presence on the field—whether as a batter, keeper, or surprise bowler—is a welcome sight for fans. With his focus now on domestic cricket, Kishan is gearing up for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, where he will represent the Team D squad under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. His performance in these domestic t?ournaments could play a pivotal role in determining his pathway back to int??ernational cricket.

Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan made a sensational comeback to red-ball cricket, smashing a stunning 86-ball century during the Buchi Babu Tournament 2024 match against Madhya Pradesh.

Among his remarkable shots, the most eye-catching was a jaw-?dropping one-handed six that quickly went viral on social media.

This audacious shot highlighted his confidence and skill, leaving fans and experts in awe.

A swift century that changed the game

Kishan’s innings began when Jhark??hand was at a precarious position, 108/3, effectively four down with opener Vikash Vishal retired hurt. Kishan initially took his time to settle, cautiously moving to 15 off 37 balls. However, once he found his rhythm, there was no stopping him. He accelerated rapidly, reaching his half-century in just 60 balls. Kishan then unleashed a barrage of powerful shots, adding 54 more runs in just 26 deliveries. His century, reached with the one-handed six, was a masterclass in aggressive red-ball batting, helping Jharkhand take a crucial 64 runs lead.

The road to redemption

Kishan’s return to domestic cricket is particularly significant, considering the challenges he faced earlier this year. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had excluded him from the central contracts list after he chose not to participate in the latter stages of the Ranji Trophy, despite repeated instructions. Additionally, Kishan had opted out of the Test series against South Africa, citing mental health reasons, and had not represented India since the T20I series against Australia in November 2023. Kishan will next feature in the upcoming Duleep Trophy and will play for Team D squad, led by Shreyas Iyer.

In a thrilling start to the Buchi Babu Cricket Trophy 2024, Ishan Kishan showcased his exceptional skills with a stunning diving catch that turned the tide in the match between Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand. The incident occurred during?? the 84th over of the first innings when Madhya Pradesh were batting, with the scor?eboard reading 208 runs for the loss of 8 wickets.

Ishan Kishan’s stunning catch

Vivekanand Tiwari was bowling to Ramveer Gurjar, who was struggling at the crease with just 6 runs off 31 deliveries. As Tiwary deliv??ered the ball, Gurjar attempted to flick it towards fine leg, hoping to add a few more runs to the tally. However, Kishan, who was keeping a vigilant eye on the?? action, made a split-second decision that would prove to be crucial.

Anticipating the shot with remarkable precision, Kishan swiftly moved into position and executed a spectacular diving catch, snatching the ball out of the air before it could touch the ground. The crowd erupted in applause as the young wicketkeeper-batter held onto the ball, dismissing Gurjar for 6 runs and bringing Madhya Pradesh’s innings closer to an end.

Ishan Kishan seeking a comeback in Team India

Ishan’s presence at the high-profile wedding alongside the legendary Dhoni is significant. After a brief hiatus with BCCI, Ishan’s recent exclusion from the BCCI’s central contract list has raised eyebrows, with the young wicket-keeper batter facing criticism for his lack of participation in domestic cricket.

This comes from his poor form in recent matches, leading to concerns about his place in the team, especially after the T20 World Cup 2024. The BCCI’s strict stance on mandatory domestic cricket participation has also come under scrutiny, with Kishan and Shreyas Iyer facing the consequences of their decisions?? to date.

Though adding to the BCCI spat, at that time once before Ishan had requested a break from the national team citing mental fatigue. However, he was spotted partying in Dubai with MS Dhoni, raising questions about his co??mmitment. This controversy led to speculation for which he later faced disciplinary action.

Ishan Kishan, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman, has revealed the reasons behind his hiatus from both international cricket and the Ranji Trophy. Kishan last donned the Indian jersey in an international match against Australia in November 2023. Since then, his ab??sence from the Indian cricke?t scene has raised many questions among fans and pundits alike.

Kishan’s decision not to participate in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season has further fuelled speculation, leading to his removal from the BCCI’s central contract list. In a candid statement, Kishan finally broke his silence, shedding light on his choice to step away from the game temporarily.

“I decided to take a break, and I believe it’s normal to do so,” Kishan stated in his recent interview to NDTV.

“There’s a rule that if you want to make a comeback, you must perform well in domestic cricket. However, for me, playing domestic cricket didn’t make sense at this point. I was not in the right frame of mind to play, and that’s why I chose to take a break from both international and domestic cricket. It wouldn’t have been logical to step down from international duties only to return immediately to domestic games. Fir toh mai international cricket hi khelta. (Then I could have continued playing for India),” he added.

Kishan also expressed his frustration with the limited opportunities he received to play for the Indian team despite his consistent performances. “I was disappointed with not getting enough time to play for Team India, despite performing well. It was a challenging and depressing period for me,” he admitted. “I don’t want to sugarcoat it—things were tough. You go through a lot of self-doubt and questioning. Mere dimag me ye sab chal raha tha ki yaar kya hoga gaya, kyu ho gaya, mere saath kyu (Questions like what happened, why me).  All these thoughts crossed my mind, especially when I felt I was performing well.”

Mumbai Indians (MI) were knocked out of the playoffs race in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The five-time champions had a disappointing season, enduring 9 defeats in 13 games. Led by Hardik Pandya, the team will play a dead rubber match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede Stadium on Friday.

With little at stake, MI players are enjoying their time in the lucrative league, engaging in light-hearted activities to lift their spirits. One such instance was witnessed in the Mumbai camp when Ishan Kishan and Tim David were seen indulging in a fun-?filled wrestling match.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) terminated the central contracts of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer earlier this year. Reports suggested that the Board expressed dissatisfaction with Ishan and Iyer for favouring the Indian Premier League (IPL) over domestic cricket, leading to their exclusion from the list of cricketers receiving central contracts. This move sparked intense discussions within the cricketing fraternity. Now, Jay Shah, the secretary of BCCI, has issued a statement regarding the ??matter.

Jay Shah reacts to the termination of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer’s contracts

During a media interaction at the BCCI head office, Shah disclosed that he played no role in the termination of the contracts of the two Indian cricketers. He clarified that he lacked the authority to make such decisions and instead attributed Ajit Agarkar, the chairman of sel??ectors, as the individual responsible for th?e decision.

“You can check the constitution. I am just a convener (of the selection meeting), that decision lies with Ajit Agarkar, even when these two players (Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer) who did not play domestic (cricket), the decision to drop them was only his,” Shah told media.

“My role is just to implement. And we have got new players (in place), like Sanju (Samson). Nobody is indispensable,” he added.

Shah stated that he communicated with the players following their contract omissions, a fact that was also reported by the media. Additionally, he noted having discussed domestic tournaments with Hardik Pandya, emphasizing the mandatory requirement for every cricketer to participate in such events, re?gardless of their personal preferences.

“Yes, I had spoken with them. Media had even carried the reports,” the BCCI secretary said.

“Even Hardik said if BCCI is considering me for white-ball, then I am ready to play Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Any player will have to play, even if they do not want to, they will have to,” Shah further stated.

Shah cites the difference between playing in the IPL and representing India

Shah remarked that in the IPL, high scores are primarily determined by the players’ performance and their capacity to maintain it over time. He illustrated his point by using the example of Ishan, suggesting that while the batter may struggle to secure a place in the Indian national team, he can still excel as a player for the Mumbai Indians (MI) franchise in the IPL, wh?ere ??the environment might be less pressurized.

Shah contrasted this with the expectatio??????????????????????????ns placed on players representing Team India, emphasizing the need for consistent and exceptional performances to succeed at that level. He concluded by asserting that those who can handle these demands effectively can be considered the right fit for the team.

“Whoever plays well in the IPL, like say Ishan Kishan, he finds it difficult to take part with the Indian team but he can play in Mumbai Indians as a player. There he can play in a relaxed manner. In Team India, you have to prove yourself, give back to back performances. The one who can handle that can be described as a right player,” the 35-year-old concluded.
