Ishan Kishan is another wicket keeper batsman from Jharkhand, after the legendary MS Dhoni. He was has always been a fan of the gentleman’s game from a very tender age of 7. He represented his school in the School World Cup which was held in Aligarh. Ishan and his brother Raj Kishan both were passionate for cricket since their childhood. However, even after being a good cricketer, Raj Kishan sacrificed his career for the sake of his brother’s because he always felt that his brother has been something special.
Despite hailing from Bihar, Ishan chose to represent Jharkhand since Bihar lost its affiliation with BCCI and it wasn’t possible until his brother and coach advised his father to send him to Ranchi, Jharkhand for more exposure. India legend Rahul Dravid was also stunned seeing his batting against Saurashtra in a Ranji match
Ishan Kishan’s mother tongue is Hindi. He was born and brought up in Patna, Bihar, India, where Hindi is widely spoken.
Before the Under 19 World Cup in 2016, Ishan Kishan was charged with a hit and run case against an Autorickshaw on January 12th, 2016. It was also rumoured that his father Pranav Kumar Pandey manhandled the situation to save his son’s skin.
