Ishan Kishan, who has been out of the Indian cricket team for a long time, has failed to score big runs in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match, dooming his Champions Trophy hopes. The player who captains Jharkhand has scored 39 runs in 37 balls against Uttarakhand on Friday. This poor performance from him could cost him a berth for the selection at the Champions Trophy. The batter was included in the squad as a backup wicketkeeper, but this time it seems impossible.

Ishan Kishan in 2024
Ishan didn’t play any matches for India in 2024. He took a break from cricket after the T20I series in November 2023 and did not participate in domestic competitions during this period. India’s coach, Rahul Dravid, advised him to work on his form. Kishan then returned to domestic cricket to prepare for the IPL but chose to focus on domestic matches too. While Ishan Kishan might seem to have slipped out of focus, he remains in India’s plans as he recently travelled to Australia for a tour match between India A and Australia A, playing as a wicketkeeper-batter.
