“Prithvi Shaw On One Leg Is Better Than Ishan Kishan” – Twitter Slams Opener After His Flop Show vs New Zealand In 3rd T20I

The 24-year-old India National Cricket Team wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan’s poor run of form continued in the third T20I against New Zealand National Cricket Team as he endured yet another failure and fell for 3-ball 1.

The series decider of the three-match T20I series between the Hardik Pandya-led India National Cricket Team and the Mitchell Santner-led New Zealand National Cricket Team is currently underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 1 (Wednesday).

Ishan Kishan has been going through a lean patch since his amazing ODI double-century on Bangladesh soil in December 2022. Since his remarkable 210 knock, he has registered the score of 37, 2, 1, 5, 8*, 17, 4, 19, and 1 across the two white-ball formats. During this period he has scored combined 94 runs at an average of just 11.8.

Ahead of the series decider T20I between India and New Zealand, many called for the inclusion of the dynamic opening batsman Prithvi Shaw in the playing XI, but Indian management decided to stick with the same batting combination and Kishan opened with Shubman Gill in the match.

Michael Bracewell came out to bowl the 2nd over of the innings and on the second ball itself, he trapped Kishan LBW. Notably, the Kiwi all-rounder had also dismissed Kishan in the Ranchi T20I.

Bracewell bowled a flat cross-seam delivery on a good length, it went straight beating the inside edge, and hit the Indian wicketkeeper-batter on the pads. The on-field umpire Nitin Menon raised his finger, but Kishan challenged the decision. On the replays, it showed that it was pad first and the ball would have hit the stumps. However, due to the umpire’s call, India managed to save the review.

Ishan Kishan has always had issues against off-spinners. Since 2022 in T20 cricket, Kishan has scored just 92 runs against off-spinners at a strike rate of 79.82 and an average of 18.20 while playing 52 dot balls.

Overall in his last 14 T20I innings, Ishan Kishan has registered scores of 27 (26), 15 (7), 26 (11), 3 (5), 8 (10), 11 (13), 36 (31), 10 (11), 37 (29), 2 (5), 1 (2), 4 (5), 19 (32), 1 (3). During this period he has scored 200 runs at a poor average of 14.28 and a poor strike rate of 105.26.

No surprises Ishan Kishan again fails in a T20 game. With all the injustice meted out to Prithvi Shaw, he will surely go on to captain Team India in White Ball cricket. Just a matter of time! #INDvNZ

@hardikpandya7 Bhai tu ekdm samajh nahi pa raha hai kya? Ishan Kishan ko khilaye ja raha hai?, Nathan Lyon @ishankishan51 ko agar test khela to 8 innings me 8 baar out karega…

Least SR by an Indian in 3 match T20I series

HOW MANY MORE CHANCES TO ISHANT KISHAN?.
BEST IS TO DROP
HARDIK AND DRAVID.

Kishan is floundering his chances to cement his place in the T20 lineup. It’ll be harder if KL, Rutu, Shaw amass runs in the IPL.

I will back KS bharat to play spin better than ishan kishan in BGT.@goudvikram517 @vikrantgupta73

— Sahil Choudhary (@SahilCh80108727) February 1, 2023

One good thing this T20I series might have done is that probably has averted a surprise Test debut being handed out to Ishan Kishan during BGT.

Should have never made it to Test squad ahead of guys like Akshay Wadkar and Upendra Yadav.#INDvsNZ #Crickettwitter

— Akash Kumar Jha (@Akashkumarjha14) February 1, 2023

Ishan Kishan averages 7.8 and strikes at 62.9 vs Off Spin in T20Is.
