Watch- Ishan Kishan Adds Humor To Rain-Delayed First T20I, Engages In Fun Banter With Cameraman

The first T20I of the three-match series between India and South Africa was abandoned without a ball bowled due to rain. However, Indian wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan was seen in high spirits during the rain break, engaging in light-hearted banter with the cameraman.

Ishan Kishan played in the first three matches of the IND vs AUS T20I series, displaying a notable performance with back-to-back fifties but a duck in the third game. The southpaw missed the last two matches and is unlikely to be part of the playing XI against South Africa.

We Need To Play The Same Against South Africa – Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav emphasized the importance of continuing their “fearless” approach in the T20I series against South Africa. He encouraged the players to bring the same fearless attitude displayed in franchise cricket to the international stage.

“The players put their hands up against Australia and came up with fearless cricket, and we need to play the same against South Africa. I just told them to do exactly what they do in franchise cricket,” Suryakumar said.

We Play 14 League Games In IPL – Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav dismissed concerns about the team’s readiness for the T20 World Cup 2024, despite the limited T20 matches for India before the marquee tournament in the USA and West Indies.

“I feel there are limited T20s going forward, before the T20 World Cup, but then we play 14 league games in the IPL as well,” Suryakumar further stated.

“And players who have been playing in these T20 internationals… they’ve played a lot of games, and they have a lot of experience under their belt. So, we don’t think there will be an issue or any problem in selecting the squad because everyone knows their roles really well and responsibilities really well,” he added.

India Squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (Wk), Jitesh Sharma (Wk), Ravindra Jadeja (VC), Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, and Deepak Chahar.
