Ishan Kishan credits his stint as Jharkhand’s captain for steering him away from a ‘wild child’ image and setting the stage for his 270‑run innings.
Ishan Kishan, the young wicket‑keeper‑batsman, has spoken about how taking on the captaincy of Jharkhand has helped him move away from a ‘wild child’ persona.
The former cricketer, who was once known for his exuberant on‑field antics, said that leading the state side forced him to adopt a more disciplined approach to the game.
Kishan believes that the responsibility of captaincy gave him a new perspective and helped him rebuild his technique and temperament, preparing him for the big innings that followed.
He later went on to score 270 runs in a Ranji Trophy match, a performance that many credit to the maturity he gained while leading his team.
