It has been a roller coaster ride for young Ishan Kishan over the last three months. The 25-year-old had pulled out of the South African series just before the Test matches. This prompted Rahul Dravid and even Jay Shah to send timely reminders. Despite the diktats, Ishan Kishan did not play any domestic cricket for Jharkhand.

Opening the batting for the RBI side, Ishan Kishan began well with 19 runs off 11 balls with 2 fours and a six. His team was chasing a huge target of 193 runs set by the Route Mobile XI. The third ball of the fourth over brought about Kishan’s downfall as Maxwell Swaminathan picked his wicket.
Shreyas Iyer set to feature in Mumbai
After the Indian Cricket Board’s stern warning Shreyas Iyer just like Ishan Kishan is set to be back in action. The 29-year-old was part of the first two Tests vs England in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam.
When the team was announced for the final three games of the series, Iyer’s name wasn’t in the squad list. News came out that the Indian star had complained of fitness issues, but few sources denied it. According to insider reports, it was the lack of runs with the bat that had seen Iyer get dropped.
Just on the eve of the 3rd Test, Jay Shah had sounded a warning to the players missing the domestic season. Despite several warnings, Ishan Kishan missed the last few games for Jharkhand.
