Earlier this year, Ishan Kishan’s grandfather, Anurag Pandey, confirmed that the cricketer is in a relationship with Aditi Hundia. Supporting Kishan’s right to make his own choices, he told ANI (via NDTV):
“Whoever Ishan chooses to marry, I fully accept. We are ready to accept whoever Ishan Kishan wants to marry. Aditi is his girlfriend. She is a model. One should accept what makes children happy.”
Later, Ishan Kishan’s mother, Suchitra Devi, dismissed the rumours and said they were baseless. She also asked Kishan to focus on his cricket, telling Indo-Asian News Service (via NDTV):
“It’s not about marriage; it’s time for him to play cricket. He’s not old enough to talk about marriage. Grandpa is getting a little old. Old people are always a little excited. Something or the other keeps coming up on social media. He said all this based on what he saw on social media.”
Ishan Kishan is currently India’s top run-scorer in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup
The 27-year-old has scored 263 runs in eight matches at a strike rate of 189.20, including two half-centuries. His best knock was 77 off 40 balls against the Pakistan national cricket team. The left-hander also played a quick 39 off 18 balls in the semifinal against the England national cricket team. He will now aim to continue his good form in the final.
Meanwhile, after Abhishek Sharma struggled with the bat, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar advised the team management to open the innings with Kishan in the T20 World Cup 2026 final against New Zealand national cricket team. The cricketer-turned-analyst told India Today:
“I would like to see Ishan Kishan open the batting with Sanju Samson, with Rinku Singh coming into the side. Rinku has that belief—you’ve probably seen the ‘God’s Plan’ tattoo on his body—and sometimes things just work out for players like him.”
“It’s a very tough call. Abhishek Sharma is the No. 1 batter in the ICC T20 rankings, but he hasn’t learned from his dismissals. He keeps getting out in the same region where his arms are cramped for room. Bowlers are targeting that area and forcing mistakes. My concern is that he either hasn’t adjusted yet or is unable to change his approach.”
