Ishan Kishan excelled with the bat on Day 1 (Thursday, September 12) of the Duleep Trophy match between India B and India C at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur. The left-handed batsman made 111 runs from 126 balls, featuring three sixes and 14 boundaries.
While batting, Kishan combined forces with Baba Indrajith to build a partnership of 189 runs for the third wicket. He was finally dismissed by Mukesh Kumar in the 66th over. The left-hander had previously made a century for Jharkhand during the recently held Buchi Babu Tournament.
Kishan ran foul of selectors who left him out for the first Test against Bangladesh to be played from September 19 at Chennai, just days before this Duleep Trophy knock. He had missed that tournament’s opener because of a groin injury.
Fans on X praised Ishan Kishan for his century in the Duleep Trophy. One user commented:
“Hundred in the first match in Buchi Babu tournament. Hundred in the first match in Duleep Trophy. THE COMEBACK IS ON, ISHAN KISHAN IS RETURNING IN STYLE”
Another user wrote:
“The star player announces his arrival return with a remarkable century in just 121 balls. Couldn’t play the 1st round due to an injury, but makes a memorable comeback.”
A third user added:
“111 runs from 126 balls including 14 fours & 3 sixes, What a return to the domestics for Ishan, Making a huge statement ahead of the cricket season. It’s time for the Comeback of Ishan.”
