Break taught lessons, many changes came
Ishan Kishan talked about the struggles of the last few months. According to him, he got to learn a lot because of the break. A lot of changes took place during his stay away from Team India. According to Kishan, his understanding regarding the game has increased a lot. He has matured a lot and his perspective on the game has also changed.

What was the Kishan-BCCI issue?
As soon as the 2023 ODI World Cup ended, Ishan Kishan was sent with Team India on a tour of South Africa for the T20 series. Before him, Jitesh Sharma was given a chance as wicketkeeper. At the same time, before the Test series, the matter of getting wicketkeeping done by KL Rahul came to light. After this, Ishaan got angry and withdrew his name from the series. He asked for a break from BCCI in the name of mental fatigue but after returning from South Africa, he was seen in some shows and events. Here things went wrong. BCCI said that he would have to participate in domestic cricket but he did not agree. Then BCCI took action and removed him from the central contract.
