Ishan Kishan’s First-Ball Six Impresses Cricket World Despite Early Dismissal

Although Ishan Kishan may have been dismissed for a mere 28runs in the third T20 match played between India and New Zealand in Guwahati, his aggressive attitude right from the first ball has won accolades all around the world. New Zealand, batting first in this match, scored 153 runs losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. While chasing the target of 154 runs, the Indian team had a very poor start, and SanjuSamson got clean bowled out by Matt Henry on the very first ball of the match.

After this, any batsman would normally try to understand the pitch and play cautiously, but Ishan Kishan did not do so. He scored a six on the very first ball he faced. This kind of thinking is being praised all over the world. Former Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also praised Ishan Kishan. Ashwin said that when Ishan Kishan came to bat at number three after Sanju Samson's dismissal and started playing shots from the very first ball, the match was almost over in that very over.

Ashwin said, "The moment he played his first shot, I was stunned. It was a brilliant shot. The ball wasn't even in his slot, and it was his very first ball. Playing such a shot requires confidence as well as skill."

Ashwin further said that Ishan Kishan has always been gifted, which is why he is sold so high in the IPL auction. His fearlessness and never-backing mentality are taking Indian cricket to a different level. Let us tell you that the Indian team achieved the target of 154 runs in just 10 overs. After Sanju Samson was out for a duck, Ishan Kishan scored 28 runs in 13 balls, which included three fours and two sixes.

After Ishan's dismissal, Abhishek Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav scored half-centuries. Abhishek Sharma scored a half-century in 14 balls, becoming the second fastest batsman in the world to score a half-century. Suryakumar Yadav scored 57 runs in 26 balls, while Abhishek Sharma remained unbeaten after scoring 68 runs in 20 balls. With this victory, the Indian team took an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match T20 series.
