How unlucky can a team be? After Suryakumar Yadav, now Ishan Kishan also doubtful for IND vs NZ clash. And the reason is bizarre. During practice, Ishan Kishan was stung by a honey bee on his head. He soon left practice session. This happened after SKY left practice after a blow to his wrist. Hardik has already been ruled out of India vs New Zealand Cricket World Cup clash due to an ankle injury.
A few days ago, Ishan’s best friend Shubman Gill had a bout of dengue fever.
However, Ishan Kishan is expected to be fine. He has so far played as a backup batter. With Shubman Gill back, he has missed out.
But if Suryakumar Yadav develops swelling and is unavailable, Ishan Kishan will come in as a replacement for Hardik Pandya the batter in IND vs NZ game.
