The aggressive wicketkeeper-batter’s explosive batting forced the national selectors to take the bold call to bring Kishan back into the squad ahead of Jitesh Sharma, which raised many eyebrows. Jitesh had been part of India’s T20I plans, and even he was part of the Asia Cup 2025 triumphant squad.

Sharing how he broke the news to Ishan Kishan, the skipper said, "So, I just called him (Ishan) and asked, ‘Chotu World Cup jitayega? (Will you win the World Cup?), so he just told me, ‘Bass bharosa kar ke dekhiye (just trust me).’ I said, "Chal kiya bharosa" (okay, I trust you), and the way he played—it was amazing.”
Ishan Kishan's comeback story
During the 2025 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy season, Kishan looked like a completely different player. His fearless approach at the top of the order left everyone stunned and caught the attention of the Indian team management. The selectors were looking for a batter who could provide explosive starts in T20Is, especially with a left-right combination at the top.
Kishan’s aggressive style and ability to take on fast bowlers as well as spinners made him an exciting option. The decision was not easy because Jitesh Sharma had been part of the Indian squad for a long time and had also delivered some good performances.
Ishan Kishan 'deserved' India spot
