In an unusual twist that defied political boundaries, an India-Pakistan duo lit up the County Championship in England. Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Abbas pulled off a brilliant dismissal against Yorkshire and bonded after the game by clicking some selfies.

Kishan, to fuel his quest to return to the Test set-up after being grounded over disciplinary issues, joined the County Championship in England. He signed with Nottinghamshire, where he found Pakistani pacer Mohammad Abbas as his teammate.

India-Pakistan Players Seen Bonding In County

During Nottinghamshire’s clash against Yorkshire, Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Abbas combined to script a brilliant moment. On just the first ball of the second innings, Pakistan’s veteran pacer Abbas delivered a peach that found the edge of Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth’s bat. 

Standing sharp behind the stumps, India’s Ishan Kishan dived full stretch to grab a sensational catch, dismissing Lyth for a golden duck. The India-Pakistan duo hugged each other to celebrate the dismissal.

Not only that, after the game, Abbas clicked selfies with Kishan as the duo bonded on the sidelines.

This comes amid intense conflict between India and Pakistan that unfolded last month. The two nations engaged in military battle before a ceasefire was called to maintain peace in the border regions.

Kishan Shines On County Debut

Making a bold return, Ishan Kishan smashed a brilliant 87 off 98 balls for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship, proving his red-ball mettle. 

With his team in trouble, Kishan counter-attacked with 12 boundaries and a six, reviving their innings. Though he fell short of a century, the knock was a reminder of his talent and a strong case for a return to India's Test squad.
