Ishant Kishan, a young Indian batsman, made his international debut last year and has played 3 ODIs and 10 T20I matches for India so far. Ishant Kishan, who is seen as a stunning opener in T20 cricket, has been included in the Indian squad for his outstanding performance. However, with Rohit Sharma and Rahul being the main openers in the Indian T20 squad, there is fierce competition for the place of his starter. So from time to time Ishaan Kishan is also playing in the middle order.
Ishant Kishan, who is currently playing as a starter in the India squad for the ongoing South African series due to the retirement of Rohit Sharma and the injury to Rahul, has put up a stellar performance in the first match. Although he did not perform as well as expected in the ongoing IPL series, he was unbeaten on 76 off 48 balls with 11 fours and 3 sixes in the first match against South Africa currently for India in international cricket.

His magnificent run-scoring helped India reach a mammoth 211 runs. If there is a starter who shows such a dramatic start to the game then surely the Indian team will be engaged in a big run pile-up. In that sense one can hope that Ishant Kishan will play similarly aggressively in the upcoming matches. But if Rohit and Rahul return to the Indian team, will he get his place in the opening? Or is it available in the middle order? The question is.
In this context, Ishant Kishan, who was present at the press conference after yesterday’s match, has spoken emphatically that he should not remove Rohit or Rahul from the opening space for himself. He said: Rohit Sharma and Rahul, who are playing as starters in the Indian team, are world-class players. They both made many achievements for the Indian team in international cricket and played very brilliantly and amassed a large number of runs.

I never ask for their place for me when they are on the team. I always wanted to be on the team. That’s enough if I get a chance if neither of them can play. My job is to do everything better in training. It is only my intention to prove myself in the places and opportunities given to me following it.

I am ready to leave the opening place if both Rohit and Rahul come. I will definitely prove my ability by showing my best play in the opportunities available to me. “I am ready to play where the Indian team wants to use me,” Kishan said.
