INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Ishan Kishan, a rising star in Indian cricket, has captivated audiences with his explosive batting style and remarkable ability to hit towering sixes. Known primarily as an opener, he has made significant contributions to the Indian national team and established himself as a key player for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL). His journey began at a young age, showcasing his passion for cricket early on, which would eventually shape his illustrious career.
Under the guidance of coach Uttam Mazumdar, Ishan honed his skills through rigorous training that involved extensive practice sessions—300 throw-downs followed by a staggering 500 shadow strokes to master various shots like the pull, cut, and square drive. This dedication paid off early when, at just seven years old, he led his school team to the School World Cup in Aligarh. Although he initially attended Delhi Public School (DPS), his commitment to cricket led him to prioritize the sport over his studies. After being selected for the Patna Under-16 team and competing in the All India School tournament, he took a significant step by relocating to Ranchi, Jharkhand, to further pursue his cricketing aspirations.
As Ishan settled in Ranchi, he faced both challenges and growth opportunities. Living in a one-room quarter with four senior players from SAIL, he adjusted to a new lifestyle where he took on household responsibilities. During this period, his father’s concern for his well-being led to a significant change, as he moved into a flat with his mother to ensure he had proper nutrition. Ishan’s talent continued to flourish, leading him to represent various age-group and corporate teams, culminating in his selection for the Jharkhand Ranji team at the youthful age of 15. His standout performance in the 2017-18 Ranji season, where he scored 484 runs in just six matches, solidified his reputation as one of Jharkhand’s finest cricketers.
With a steady ascent in his career, Ishan’s achievements include serving as captain of the India Under-19 team during the 2016 World Cup, where he first crossed paths with Indian cricket legend Rahul Dravid, who was the team’s coach. His aggressive batting style caught the attention of IPL franchises, leading to his selection by Gujarat Lions for Rs 35 lakh in the 2016 auction. After two seasons, he was acquired by the Mumbai Indians in 2018 for a staggering Rs 6.2 crores, where he hit a remarkable 516 runs in the 2020 season, including a season-high of 30 sixes. Despite facing an alarming eye injury during IPL 11, Ishan’s tenacity shone through as he continued to make waves in international cricket, achieving milestones such as his debut T20I fifty and his historic double-century against Bangladesh in December 2022.
Beyond the pitch, Ishan Kishan has ventured into entrepreneurship by launching his clothing brand, IK Clothing, and has garnered significant attention on social media, amassing millions of followers across platforms. His quirky eating habits and playful personality have also endeared him to fans, while pranks and humorous interactions, like those during his appearance on Kaun Banega Crorepati, demonstrate his charm. As he navigates the challenges of professional cricket, including moments of mental fatigue that led him to take a break from the game, Ishan remains committed to achieving greatness while drawing inspiration from his close relationships, especially with his father. As of early 2024, he continues to build his legacy in cricket, embodying the spirit of dedication and passion that defines the sport.
