Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan disclosed that a challenge from captain Shubman Gill to hit six sixes in an over led to his dismissal, falling short of a potential double century.
Young Indian batsman Ishan Kishan narrowly missed out on a double century during the second One Day International match against Afghanistan. Kishan scored a rapid 125 runs off just 79 balls in the encounter.
Post-match, Kishan revealed an amusing anecdote about his dismissal. He shared that captain Shubman Gill had playfully challenged him to hit six sixes in a single over. It was in pursuit of this ambitious goal that Kishan lost his wicket.
Had he not been dismissed, Kishan was on course to potentially achieve a significant milestone, falling approximately 75 runs short of a double hundred.
