Ishan Kishan Mirrors Harbhajan Singh’s Bowling Action

After being snubbed from India’s ongoing five-match Test series against England, Ishan Kishan is making waves quietly in the ongoing County Championship with his batting brilliance. But the wicketkeeper batter had something more to stun the fans as the cricket world witnessed a whole different talent of his.

After Nottinghamshire put on a massive total on the board, when Somerset came to bat in the second innings, ‘bowler’ Ishan Kishan came in. He surprised everyone by mimicking Harbhajan Singh’s famous action, delivering his first ball from over the wicket.

Despite shining with exceptional form, Nottinghamshire’s last match ended in a draw against Somerset. Batting first, the Somerset batters put on a total of 379 runs, and Nottinghamshire batters set the stage on fire with their brilliance. Despite some early blows, Ben Slater and Jack Haynes’ unreal batting show put the stage on fire with a crucial 92-run stand.

After Slater fell for 124, Ishan Kishan joined Haynes and gave a massive boost to the innings. The Indian batter stitched a thrilling 138-run partnership and played a brilliant knock of 77 runs in 128 balls. Haynes played an exceptional knock of 157 runs and helped the side to put on a massive total of 509 runs.

Batting in the second innings, Somerset bounced back despite early setbacks. Cadmore’s unbeaten 147, supported by Rew’s 43 and Abell’s steady unbeaten 24, powered them to 238, and the match ended in a draw.
