Why is Ishan Kishan not playing? (PC-PTI)
Ishan Kishan Rested: Ishan Kishan's batting form is going amazing at the moment. This player won the hearts of all the fans by scoring a brilliant century in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. His century came in just 34 balls. But the surprising thing is that he was kept out of the team in the very next match. Jharkhand captain Ishan Kishan was not given a chance in the playing eleven in the match against Rajasthan. In his place, Kumar Kushagra was given the captaincy. Now the question is why Ishan Kishan was out of the next match after scoring a century.
You will be surprised to know that Ishan Kishan has been dropped at the behest of BCCI.The reason for keeping Ishan Kishan out of Jharkhand's playing eleven is BCCI. Kumar Kushagra, who is captaining Jharkhand in the second match against Rajasthan, said that BCCI has given rest to Ishan Kishan. Ishan Kishan has left the team and gone to his home and will join the team on January 2. Let us tell you that Ishan Kishan has been given rest as a precautionary measure. Actually, this player has been selected in the team for New Zealand T20 series and T20 World Cup 2026 and to keep him safe from injury and keep him fresh, BCCI has asked this player to take rest.
Ishan Kishan recently made Jharkhand the champion in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He scored the maximum 517 runs in the tournament. The strike rate of this player was around 200 and he scored 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries. Ishaan also hit the maximum number of 33 sixes and by scoring a century in the final, he made his team win this trophy for the first time. After this, Ishaan played an inning of 125 runs in just 39 balls against Jharkhand, in which he hit 14 sixes.
Ishaan's form is very important for him and Team India, which is why BCCI decided to rest this player.
