Ishan Kishan was recently dropped from the T20 squad for the home series against Afghanistan. Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan was in Vadodara and was training Hardik Pandya who is the newly elected Mumbai Indians captain.
Kishan’s non-selection in the T20 squad is being a topic of debate nowadays. There are some people who connect it to the intrigue surrounding Team India’s T20 World Cup captaincy while others are assuming about the mismanagement of the team and mistrust of the player.
Adding to the complications, the 25-year-old made a recent demand for a break from cricket because of his mental fatigue.
“He told the team management that he has mental fatigue because he had been on the road continuously and wanted to spend time with his family back home. Instead, he chose to travel to Dubai and was seen partying,” a source said.
At the same time, the players who are close to Kishan took his side and said, “When he has been given a break, how does it matter where he spends his time? He wants to be away from the game as constant travelling and warming the bench has taken a toll mentally. And he was in Dubai for his brother’s birthday celebrations.”
