WI vs IND: [WATCH] ‘You’re Not MS Dhoni’ – Ishan Kishan’s On-Air Conversation With The Former India Opener Grabs The Eyeballs

During the West Indies tour, wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan showcased his prowess, impressively scoring half-centuries in all the ODI matches. His remarkable performance earned him a place in an exclusive club that boasts cricketing greats like MS Dhoni, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Mohammed Azharuddin.

The 23-year-old cricketer became the latest Indian batter to achieve the feat of scoring fifties in all three matches of a bilateral ODI series. Amidst the cricketing action, an amusing and light-hearted exchange took place on the field between Ishan Kishan and former India opener Aakash Chopra.

During a stumping appeal, Chopra humorously remarked on-air, “It’s very rare that you review the stumping and run-out dismissal. So far, I am seeing the feet on the ground. You can come from Ranchi, but your name is not MS Dhoni.”

Kishan, who heard Chopra’s comment through the stump mic, responded playfully, saying, “Ha, fir thik hai.” (Then it’s okay). This jovial interaction added a fun element to the game and showcased the camaraderie between players on and off the field.

Ishan Kishan’s exceptional performance earned him the coveted title of “Player of the Series.”

However, the talented cricketer humbly acknowledged that he wasn’t entirely satisfied with his finishing during the matches. He expressed a desire to work on capitalizing on his starts and converting them into big scores.

He acknowledged the advice from senior players, who encouraged him to stay in the middle and play a substantial innings. Praising his teammate, Shubman Gill, Kishan admired Gill’s ability to consistently middle the ball, which instilled confidence in him as well.
