Ishan Kishan, known for his infectious energy and jovial personality, has once again made headlines, not for his prowess with the bat, but for a comical incident during India's final group stage match against Netherlands in the ongoing World Cup 2023.
The 25-year-old cricketer, although not part of the playing XI, became the center of attention when a picture of him turned water boy went viral.
During a drinks break while Virat Kohli was at the crease, Kishan was captured bringing water bottles for the batters. However, instead of serving the drinks, he amused everyone by taking a sip himself. The image quickly circulated on social media, capturing the moment when Kohli looked on in surprise at Kishan's unexpected move.
Here's the picture:
Despite the light-hearted incident, India's performance in the match was anything but a joke. The team's exceptional batting display led them to a convincing 160-run victory over Netherlands. Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul played pivotal roles, crafting a formidable 208-run partnership after a solid start by openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.
As India heads into the knockout stage undefeated, their next challenge awaits against their 2019 World Cup semi-finals rivals on November 15 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
