On the eve of their third T20I match against Australia in Guwahati, Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan brought some light-hearted fun to the Indian team's preparations. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared an amusing video clip where Kishan participated in the 'only wrong answers' challenge, adding a touch of humor ahead of the crucial game.
In the challenge, Kishan playfully introduced himself as head coach VVS Laxman and creatively altered the professions of teammates Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Displaying his comedic flair, he claimed to be 80 years old and humorously stated that Brazil was the host of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. He also jokingly described captain Suryakumar Yadav as a wicketkeeper and bowler, successfully giving incorrect answers to all the questions, as per the challenge's rules.
Beyond the fun and games, Kishan has been in outstanding form in the ongoing five-match T20I series against Australia. He has been instrumental in giving India a dominant 2-0 lead in the series with back-to-back fifties in the first two matches. His performance has been pivotal in setting the foundation for India's batting lineup.
In the series opener, Kishan's robust knock of 58 runs and a significant 112-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav were crucial in chasing down India's highest T20I score of 209. His ability to both anchor the innings and accelerate the run rate has been a key factor in India's successful chases.
The second T20I saw Kishan further solidify his position as a crucial asset for the Indian team. He scored a rapid 53, contributing significantly to India's formidable total of 235. His consistent performance and aggressive batting approach have made him the leading run-scorer of the series, with an impressive average of 55.
Kishan has demonstrated great adaptability in his batting position, effectively handling the No. 3 spot in the current series. His versatility has been a significant advantage for the Indian team.
As India leads 2-0 in the series, the mood in the camp is upbeat, as evidenced by the players engaging in lighthearted challenges. With the third T20I match on the horizon, the Indian team aims to clinch the series and continue their winning momentum.
