Mumbai Indians have struggled in recent times, but Ishan Kishan's switch ahead of the 2025 mega-auction seemed to have cost them big time, as the batter evolved as one of the staunch performers in the following IPL season.
Kishan's rise to dominance in 2026 came after a glorious domestic run and an international comeback for India. Immediately after his resurgence to the Indian team, he amassed over 300 runs in a World Cup and was part of the title-winning Indian squad.
"But for someone like him [Kishan]," Rayudu said on ESPNcricinfo Time Out, "growing up in a franchise like Mumbai, he wants to be a superstar—he is a superstar in his own right now—but back then to compete against all the stars around him would have been very, very tough.
I'm sure he has learned, and he has learned it the hard way- Rayudu opined on Kishan's switch
Rayudu explains that many players don't know how to switch between the two modes, and it was a big challenge for the left-handed batter as well. However, Ishan Kishan has learned it in this season of the IPL.
Rayudu thinks "Jharkhand captaincy" transformed Kishan into a better batter
Ishan Kishan, who has amassed 569 runs across 14 matches this season, has led his team into the playoffs. He has had successful runs since the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy triumph with Jharkhand. He has since then been winning all competitions as a player and a captain. Rayudu claimed that Kishan's successful domestic run has helped him improve his shot selection.
"His shot selection has improved big time," Rayudu said. "In his initial years, we have seen him make some wrong decisions in terms of shot selection. But here we saw him making the right call most of the time."I think his captaincy for Jharkhand made him realize a lot of things about his own game as well. Sometimes when you get captaincy, people transform into better batsmen, and he is one of them who has massively improved in terms of clarity," he added.ALSO READ: "Was very welcoming": Rachin Ravindra opens up on valuable lessons from KKR camp despite lack of game time
