This has been a sorry tour from India in England. After coming on the back of a historic series loss to Ireland, the Indian team has been a shadow of what we saw of them at the T20 World Cup 2026. Under Shreyas Iyer, the team is yet to script a victory. But more than that, it is unbelievable how poorly the batting group has failed. Although the likes of Abhishek Sharma and captain Iyer have managed to make some runs, Ishan Kishan has been at the epicentre of India’s poor batting in Europe.
Kishan’s similar dismissals are painful
Ishan Kishan is currently the world’s number one ranked T20I batter. Deservingly so, he has nailed down that number three spot in the Indian T20I side with some remarkable performances. He made a dazzling return just before the T20 World Cup 2026 after taking his state side Jharkhand to a superb Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win. He made 517 runs at an SR of 197.33 in that tournament.
Then, questions were about how he’d play on his India return after over two years. But Kishan showed that he has found the peak of his powers. From his return in January till the T20 World Cup 2026, Kishan was the highest run-getter in T20Is around the world. No other batter had more runs than his 532, which he scored at an amazing 40.92 and 207. Kishan followed it up with another superb IPL campaign, hammering 602 runs at an SR of 182.42.
But something has happened to him ever since Kishan has entered this UK tour. Amid all the Sanju Samson vs Vaibhav Sooryavanshi buzz, Kishan’s failures have gone under the radar. The mighty southpaw has made just 79 runs at a woeful average and SR of 13.2 and 108.2 in the last six innings.
