Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan is back in beast mode, as he is lighting up England with his explosive performances for Nottinghamshire in the County Championship Division One 2025. Ishan Kishan is turning heads in style by smashing back-to-back half-centuries in England.
Ishan, who is known for his fearless attitude and aggressive batting, has not only adjusted quickly to the unfamiliar English conditions but also turned them into a personal playground and helped his team, Nottinghamshire, to draw the County Championship games against Somerset and Yorkshire.
The left-handed batter first scored 87 off 98 balls against Yorkshire and followed it up with 77 off 128 balls against Somerset to take the ongoing County Championship Division One 2025 by storm after being overlooked by India for the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

The viral video showed how fearless Ishan smacked New Zealand’s season pacer Matt Henry for a stunning maximum in Taunton. The Indian cricketer played a powerful sweep shot on the very first delivery while facing the new ball against Somerset’s Henry.
The shot left the crowd and bowler stunned, as it went into the stand, and the match official had to give another new ball to Henry, leaving the commentators chuckling at how Ishan was playing aggressive cricket, even against the new ball in his maiden County Championship stint.

Earlier, on his county debut, Ishan made 87 runs off 98 balls with the help of 12 fours and a six against Yorkshire. Again, his turn didn’t come in the second innings, as this county game also ended in a draw at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham on June 25.
