The Pocket Rocket Ishan Kishan Appreciation Thread

[Manucrick]

It is one of the most incredible phoenix from the ashes stories in Indian cricket. Seeing him go from being completely sidelined to a World Cup winner on March 8, 2026, is a testament to his elite mentality.

Ishan still needs to improve his off-side game. But in this wc has fit this team like a missing puzzle piece.

he played like a lit version of pooran, who will hit a ball for 6 if that misses the line and length by a very small margin.

 

he has improved is off-side game a bit which helped him alot in this wc where bowlers can not just bowl out-side off and get an easy wkt.

 

He solved the problem which Ind batting had with Verma at #3, verma is good to v.good if he gets flying starts , but if not he  never recovers from a tuk tuk innings and jst get stuck.

Kishan never took a backward step. Ind had bad opening partnership in most of the games but he didnt get bogged down by it but counter acctacked and on larger picture this whole wc is about teams giving counter punches the matches where other team was not able to counter punch then it was 1 way lossing stream

300+ runs and sr of ~200 v.good wc
