Ishan Kishan reveals MS Dhoni’s mind game
Ishan Kishan has revealed that he wanted to do wicket-keeping from the very start as he wanted to stay engaged in the game throughout. Kishan moved from Bihar to Jharkhand very early on in his career, and he started his domestic career in Jharkhand only.
Ishan Kishan said that apart from wicket-keeping, he tried to read the mind of MS Dhoni behind the wickets. He talked about an incident that happened in 2018 when Mumbai Indians faced Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Mumbai Indians bought Ishan Kishan for a price of INR 6.2 Crores in the IPL 2018 mega auction. At the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians were batting first in the opening game of the tournament. After losing the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Evin Lewis early, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav stitched a partnership.
Ishan Kishan revealed that he was so intrigued by the mind of MS Dhoni that when Dhoni walked to Imran Tahir, he thought that MS might have found something about him. Ishan was batting well at 40 runs in 28 balls, but he got out on the very next ball of Imran Tahir.
“I was playing well and hitting the bowlers,” Ishan said.
“But then Dhoni Bhai went and talked to the bowler. He said something to Imran Tahir. And in my head, I’m wondering what Mahi Bhai has told him.”
“I don’t know what happened but I tried to drive the ball and got caught at the third man.”
Imran Tahir bowled a googly and Ishan went on one knee and tried to slog, the ball took the bat’s edge and Mark Wood took an easy catch at short third man. Kishan agreed that he lost that battle in his mind.
Kishan also revealed a funny incident about his Vijay Hazare Trophy debut, when MS Dhoni was leading the side. Ishan revelead that he was standing at the third man boundary and after the over when MS Dhoni gave instructions with his gestures, he could not understand where to go. He even asked his fellow mates, but he still was confused.
