Ishan Kishan was the Player of the Series after India won the ODI series 2-1.
He finished as the leading run-getter in the series by amassing a total of 184 runs with a best of 77 at an average of 61.33 and a strike rate of 111.51.
Apart from the bat, Ishan Kishan was also pretty neat with the gloves behind the stumps and was involved in a hilarious coincidence during the third India-West Indies ODI match, which was played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on Tuesday (August 1).
The incident took place during West Indies innings when Kishan tried to stump a batter out by removing his bails, but he survived.
While the stumping was being reviewed by the TV umpire, Aakash Chopra, who was commenting on the same for JioCinema, said that even though Ishan comes from Ranchi, his name is not MS Dhoni. Aakash’s comment was about MSD’s lightning-fast work behind the wickets.
"Bhaut rare hota hai ki aap vo stumping ya run-out ke dismissal ko review kare. Pair abhi to mujhe zameen par dikh raha hai waise (replay of the delivery). Dekhiye aap aate Ranchi se hai Ishan, lekin aapka naam Mahendra Singh Dhoni nahi hai," Chopra said on air on JioCinema.
Coincidentally, just as Chopra completed his sentence, Ishan Kishan was heard on the stump mic saying: "Haa phir theek hai", as if he was hearing what Chopra said about him and responded. However, it was nothing but a well-timed coincidence.
But it was enough for Chopra and his fellow commentators RP Singh and Nikhil Chopra to burst out in laughter.
Chopra learned about Ishan’s response immediately and added, "Ishan ne jawab bhi diya hai dekho. How sweet Ishan, we love you."
Here is a hilarious coincidence:
