Words Said To Ishan About WC Selection Have Turned Into Reality, Says Childhood Coach Mazumdar
Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy: Ishan Kishan's childhood coach, Uttam Mazumdar, said his words about the wicketkeeper-batter's selection for the T20 World Cup have "turned into reality" following the 26-year-old's inclusion in India's squad for the mega event and T20I series against New Zealand.
Kishan, who topped the charts in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy with 517 runs and captained Jharkhand to the title, became a surprise replacement for Shubman Gill in India’s T20I squad.
Those stupendous performances, including hitting 101 in the final against Haryana, and the team management’s preference to have a back-up wicketkeeper-batter who could bat in the top order led to Kishan’s return to the national set-up.
