Speaking exclusively to the 2 Sloggers YouTube channel, Ishan Kishan got candid and spoke about his toughest bowlers and what makes Bumrah different from other bowlers. Moreover, he also discussed his India comeback in the shortest format.
“When it comes to spinners, even Yuzi bhai feels very difficult for me to face. It’s possible that he has analysed me a lot. As for pace bowling, who is better than Bumrah bhai? And if I keep talking about Bumrah bhai again, he might get upset because I mention him everywhere,” Kishan told on the 2 Sloggers YouTube channel.
“Many times during practice, we don’t get the same kind of wickets. Sometimes there is grass, sometimes it is dry soil, which makes it slower. When bowlers see a grassy wicket in the nets, they sometimes show mercy, thinking the batsman is one of their own, so they bowl a bit easier. But Bumrah bhai is not like that. If even one ball comes off the middle of the bat by mistake, you know for sure the next one is going to be a bouncer,” he added.
Furthermore, speaking about his India comeback, Kishan asserted that it’s all about his bat doing all the talking. Notably, Kishan made his comeback to the Indian T20I squad for the New Zealand T20I series and ICC T20 World Cup 2026.
“You just keep working hard. There’s nothing you really need to worry about. You have one job. As a cricketer, I feel all we can do is bat and let the bat do the talking for ourselves. So I just had to do my job. And when you get there, you also realise that, yeah, all those sayings are actually true. That was the main thing, because my parents had shared so many such sayings while pushing me to work hard. Now we are beginning to understand which work actually matters. You just have to do your job well,” he asserted.
