Ishaan, who became a target of criticism due to his poor performance on the England tour, performed well in both the matches of the T20 series against Zimbabwe. Team India won both the matches. In the second match, Ishaan played an excellent innings, for which he also received an award. But Ishaan got more discussion than this innings when he missed an easy chance of run out while trying to show his style.
All this happened in Harare, when Team India was moving towards an easy and big victory in the second T20 match. In this match, India batted first and scored 219 runs. In response, Zimbabwe started well but then wickets kept falling and they lost the match. But when Team India’s victory was almost certain, then Ishaan Kishan He surprised everyone with a mistake in his wicketkeeping.
Kept hitting style, missed run out
It was the 5th ball of the 15th over of Zimbabwe’s innings. The Zimbabwean batsman shot it towards point and both the batsmen started stealing runs. Both of them completed one run quickly. But one of these batsmen also ran for the second run, while his partner was still at the crease and kept refusing. The running batsman almost reached the non-strike end.

In this time the fielder threw the ball towards wicketkeeper Ishaan, who immediately caught the ball. But here he tried to show ‘Heropanti’ and tried to run out by throwing the ball without looking towards the stump. This is where he made a mistake because despite being about 2 feet away from the stump, he could not aim. The batsman returned back to his crease and everyone was surprised by Ishaan’s action.
Team India could have suffered loss
However, Ishaan’s mistake had no impact on this match because by then Zimbabwe’s 7 wickets had fallen and the score was only 118 runs. But this made fun of Ishaan and embarrassed him. At the same time, it also raised questions on Ishaan’s attitude that perhaps when victory seemed certain, he became a little lax and was no longer serious. However, Team India still won and Ishaan was its star with his innings of 81 runs in 44 balls.
