ISHAN KISHAN (JHARKHAND)

Ishan Kishan hails from the same state as MS Dhoni, Jharkhand and plays for the same state in the Ranji Trophy. He has captained the India team in the 2016 U19 World Cup. He has played 32 FC matches with 2097 runs to his name with a best of 273 and 4 centuries and an average of 41.11.

Kishan has also played in IPL for Gujarat Lions and Mumbai Indians and had very good success for both teams. He opened the batting for Mumbai Indians and provided them with explosive starts at the top of the order and kept brilliantly well behind the stumps, despite suffering a freak injury during the tournament.

Kishan has shown maturity and has captained Jharkhand at the tender age of 20 in limited overs games and is seen as a potential replacement for MS Dhoni in any format of the game for the Indian team.
