Ishan Kishan in County Championship (Source:@OneCricketApp/X.com)
Ishan Kishan has not played for India since 2023 as the abrupt break he took from the game did not go well with the BCCI. However, the cricketer is back in his zone now and is trying his best to prove his credentials as a top-class cricketer once again.
In that process, he is now playing County cricket for Nottinghamshire and has started off with a bang, hitting 87 from just 98 balls. The knock came at a time when Nottinghamshire seemed to be losing their way, but Ishan Kishan, with his aggressive batting, kept his team going and was unbeaten on 44 at stumps on the opening day.
Ishan Kishan's Ultra-Aggressive Approach Takes Nottinghamshire To Strong Position
On Day 2, he continued with that aggressive approach and hit a flurry of boundaries in the morning session. The fact that they were six down at the start of Day 2 and Ishan Kishan still managed to score runs and carry the other batter alongside him makes it a special knock.
The left-handed batter hit 12 fours and a six in his knock. The shot that went over the ropes was an audacious one where he danced down the track against a tall pacer, staying true to his billing of a pocket-dynamite.
The stage looked set for Ishan Kishan to score a century, but Dom Bess got the better of him at a score of 87. The knock is likely to help Ishan in his comeback into the international setup and reaffirms his credentials as an all-format cricketer. Liam Patterson-White, at the other end, also scored a fifty and together, they have taken Nottinghamshire's score over 450 from a position where they were once struggling to reach even 350.
The batting performance from Nottinghamshire has shown once again why they are at the top of the table. Yorkshire, on the other hand, have struggled throughout the season, and have thrown away the advantage they gained on the opening day of this game.
