Ishan Kishan finds himself in hot water with the Mumbai Indians‘ management during the IPL 2024 season. The mischievous cricketer was caught sporting a hilarious superhero costume, complete with the team’s logo, as the squad departed from Mumbai airport. A viral video of Kishan strutting into the terminal only added to the amusement on social media.
Ishan Kishan’s poor start to IPL 2024:
However, Ishan Kishan‘s antics off the field didn’t translate into success on it. During Mumbai Indians’ home game against the Rajasthan Royals, the left-handed batter failed to leave a mark. Facing a fiery delivery from Nandre Burger, Kishan managed just 16 runs off 14 balls before falling victim to an edge caught by Sanju Samson.
His struggle mirrored that of the Mumbai Indians’ overall performance, with Trent Boult wreaking havoc in the powerplay overs and several early dismissals plaguing the team. Despite a reprieve from an unsuccessful review, Kishan couldn’t capitalize on his second chance, succumbing to Burger’s relentless bowling.
