Former India star Ishan Kishan is being closely watched as he gears up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Aakash Chopra believes this upcoming IPL season will be Ishan’s “biggest opportunity” to make a comeback to the Indian national squad across formats. Despite his consistent performances in domestic cricket, Ishan has been overlooked for unknown reasons.
Chopra highlighted Ishan’s impressive achievements, including scoring a double century in an ODI match against Bangladesh in 2022. He emphasized that Ishan is among the elite group of players who have achieved this feat and has the potential to make a significant impact with his batting skills.
The 26-year-old last represented India in a T20I game against Australia in November 2023 but withdrew from the Test series in South Africa due to mental health reasons. Ishan faced controversy for not participating in domestic tournaments, resulting in the loss of his BCCI central contract.
Despite his strong performances in domestic red-ball cricket, Ishan has not been considered for national selection in recent series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. With the IPL 2025 season approaching, Ishan has a chance to showcase his talent and earn a spot back in the Indian squad.
