Ishan Kishan Made A Comeback In he Duleep Trophy.
The second round of the Duleep Trophy started on Thursday 12th September, where India A is up against India D and India B is up against India C. As the match between India B and India C started, where India B won the toss and decided to Bowl first an unexpected discovery was made when India C team announced their playing 11, where wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan’s name was included in the second round of the Duleep Trophy. Seeing Ishan Kishan’s name in the playing 11 was a surprise for everyone as he had withdrawn his name from the tournament earlier because of a groin injury. The uncertainty started when Ishan Kishan, a regular Indian wicketkeeper-batter until last year, was not included in the first round of the Duleep Trophy. He was ruled out of the tournament and BCCI announced Sanju Samson as his replacement in the India D team due to the injury that occurred to him during the Buchi Babu invitational tournament. Even when the list of teams for the second round was announced Ishan Kishan’s name was not there and there was no news related to his recovery being mentioned by BCCI or any other official. But, when the India C team was announced on Thursday with Ishan Kishan’s name in it, it created confusion among the fans and cricket analysts. When the squads for the second round were announced it did not state Ishan Kishan’s name and there were no changes in the India C team. It hasn’t been mentioned anywhere yet about Ishan Kishan who was ruled out due to the injury and suddenly joined the India C team without any official notice from BCCI. Ishan Kishan has already stepped away from international cricket due to mental issues which led him to be dropped from the Indian squad and lose his central contract. He hit a century in the Buchi Babu invitational tournament and yesterday after his inclusion in the India C team he hit a century in the Duleep Trophy is a good sign for his return to cricket, but still, his future in the Indian cricket team seems uncertain.
