India’s wicket-keeper bat Ishan Kishan wants to be part of all three formats for the national team. Kishan had suffered a huge blow when he was not picked in BCCI’s central contract list. Kishan didn’t play for his state, Jharkhand and it didn’t impress the BCCI. The left-hander last played a match for India back in November 2023.
The southpaw is looking forward to playing for Jharkhand in the domestic circuit and then earn his place back in the Indian team. Kishan said it is good to have Rishabh Pant back in action and he will relish the competition for the wicket-keeper spot.
“It was heartening to see Rishabh back in action. As far as competition goes, you love challenges and when you compete with all the quality cricketers, it enhances your game. And then when you make it, you feel like you have earned it. I know it’s not going to be easy. But I feel competition gives you that feeling of satisfaction. I enjoy it. I don’t take any stress about it,” Kishan told the Indian Express.
“I see myself playing in all three formats. I have done well in T20Is, ODIs, and Tests as well. I want to be part of all three formats,” he added.
Kishan added he wants to focus on the present and take one game at a time. The youngster wants to keep improving and bounce back stronger.
“Keep myself fit and prepare for upcoming tournaments. I am not thinking too much about the future. I want to stay in the present. At this point in time, I am only focused on how to become a better and different player from what I was six months ago. I will work on a few innovative shots and on my wicket-keeping.”
“These are the important things, rather than thinking about what happened in the past and what will happen in the future. I am waiting for the domestic season to kick off. I want to do well for Jharkhand and then let’s see,” he said.
Kishan scored 320 runs in 14 matches of IPL 2024 at an average of 22.86 and a strike rate of 148.84 while playing for Mumbai Indians.
