Ishan kishan statement: On the basis of Ishaan Kishan’s stormy century, Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals by 44 runs and started their IPL 2025 campaign with victory. Ishaan Kishan, who has been out of Team India for a long time, was playing for Hyderabad for the first time. Ishaan was released by Mumbai Indians before the auction of IPL 2025 players and Hyderabad bought them for 11.25 crores.
From the very beginning, it was believed that Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head will not start the innings for the Ishaan franchise and he could come to bat on number-3. Ishaan has not batted much on this sequence in his career, but seeing the way he batted on Sunday, no one will be able to say that he is not a batsman of this sequence.
Ishaan Kishan scored an unbeaten 106 runs in 47 balls against Rajasthan at a strike rate of 225.53 on the basis of 11 fours and six sixes. On the basis of Ishaan’s century, Hyderabad scored the second highest score in the history of the league. Ishaan was adjudged Player of the Match for his batting.
At the same time, after the man of the match, Ishaan talked about his game plan. Speaking at the post match presentation, Ishaan Kishan said that it was nervous about playing the first match for Hyderabad. Ishaan said, “To be honest, I was nervous. I will not deny it. But looking at the team, especially Pat and coach, they gave a lot of confidence before the game. The atmosphere is so calm and restrained, you know that you just have to go in and believe in yourself what to do at that time. I enjoyed my time in between.”
Ishaan has been out of Team India for a long time. During this time, he has performed strongly in the domestic circuit and he is constantly doing better. In the intra squad match for Hyderabad, he was easily seen playing big shots. Ishaan said about his preparation, “I got a lot of time in the middle, I was practicing fiercely, worked on my batting too. Overall preparation was very good. I feel confident.”
Everyone knows how Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head performed the last season and how many records were broken by everyone. This season, the pair is not in the mood to forgive anyone and its trailer was also seen in the match against Rajasthan.
Regarding this pair, Ishaan Kishan said, “You can see Abhishek Sharma and Head playing that kind of game. Finally, you are number 3 and you get confidence. Just go there and you will get enough time to get some balls because the head is not going to stop, Abhishek is not going to stop. Or Abhishek is never going to stop. And you are batting very quickly in the innings. It is very difficult to get that type of score in every sport. ”
Ishaan Kishan praised Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins and said, “Pat, he knows what is for the team and the coach is also talking about the same thing – ‘You have to go in and you have to enjoy whatever your game -play.
