Indian team’s best wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan has failed to make his place in the Indian team since the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. After the ICC event, there were reports that the young player requested permission from BCCI to leave India’s South Africa tour midway. Not only this, Kishan was also out of the two-match Test series.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced its team for the three-match T20 series against Afghanistan in which Ishan Kishan has not been included. In their place, Jitesh Sharma and Sanju Samson have been given the role of wicketkeeper. Ever since KL Rahul became fully fit, Ishan Kishan has also lost his place in India’s Test and ODI teams.

There is also speculation that Ishaan Kishan had participated in the television show Kaun Banega Crorepati without permission. This is why he has been punished.
