Wishing Ishan Kishan a Happy Birhday! Look at his Cricketing jourey and how he faced his downfall

Ishan Kishan represented India in the 2023 Asia Cup and the ODI World Cup, but he was unexpectedly left out of the T20 team for the early 2024 South Africa tour. He had requested for a break prior to the Test series, which the BCCI considered indiscipline, leading to his dismissal from the team.

Ishan Kishan, India’s left-handed wicketkeeper-batter, turns 27 today. Ishan was born in Patna, Bihar, on July 18, 1998, and is considered to be among the best wicketkeeper-batter in the nation. He has played for India in all three formats and was a key member of the team during the 2023 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. However, following these competitions, the BCCI revoked his central contract, and he was removed from the team.

Ishan Kishan was part of Team India for the 2023 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. Many people at the time thought he had firmly secured his place in the national team. He did not, however, make the T20 team for the early 2024 tour of South Africa. His plea for a break from the team prior to the Test series was deemed an act of indiscipline by the BCCI, which led to his expulsion from the squad.

Despite his impressive IPL and domestic cricket accomplishments, Ishan Kishan has yet to be called back to the Indian squad. By performing consistently in the 2025–2026 domestic season, he now hopes to make a return. Kishan is a talented player, but what makes him unique is his ability to bat at any position in all three format.

Ishan Kishan, who scored a record-breaking double century against Bangladesh in 2022, holds the record for the fastest double hundred in ODI history. He reached the 200-run mark in just 126 balls and went on to score 210 runs from 131 deliveries. He has scored 796 runs in 32 Twenty20 Internationals with six half-centuries, 933 runs in 27 One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and 78 runs in two Test matches with one fifty.
