On the evening of May 22 in Hyderabad, Ishan Kishan scored 79 off 46 balls in a match against RCB, helping SRH win by 55 runs and bringing his season tally to 569 runs. This achievement made him part of only the second trio in IPL history where three players from the same franchise crossed 500 runs in a season.
Before his success in the IPL, Kishan faced struggles in his early cricketing career. As a young boy in Ranchi, he lived with senior cricketers in a small flat, facing hardships and hunger. Despite these challenges, he persevered and eventually found solace in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, which helped him overcome his mental health crisis and regain his focus on the game.
Kishan’s journey culminated in leading Jharkhand to their first Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy title, where he scored a century in the final. His tactical role in SRH’s batting lineup, along with his impressive performances, earned him a spot in the ODI squad for the Afghanistan series, showcasing his transformation and resilience in the face of adversity.
