From opening India's innings in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 to being dropped from the limited-overs side, Ishan Kishan has had a rough past year or so. Kishan, who was picked in India's One-Day International (ODI) squad for the Bangladesh tour, made a mark instantly by slamming his maiden international ton and then converting it into a double hundred (210) in his only outing.
The 24-year-old, who played in the third and final encounter, became the youngest and fastest player to notch a double-ton in ODIs. Former India opener Sunil Gavaskar believes that the Jharkhand-born wicketkeeper batter could very well score a triple ton in the near future.
Gavaskar, speaking to SONY SPORTS, further said that for players like Kishan and Rishabh Pant, the sky is the limit in white-ball cricket.
“When we see the younger players coming through, it means there is hope for the future. Ishan Kishan probably stands out with his double hundred, which was in a 50-overs game and that's a fantastic achievement. He got it so easily. And he got in what 35 or 36th over.
If he had carried on he would have got the first ever triple hundred in ODIs. It will happen with the way he is batting. That is a huge plus as India is concerned. He has this terrific ability to play all around the ground,"
India's next white-ball assignment will be up against visiting Sri Lanka, where both teams clash in three ODIs and as many T20Is beginning January 3.
