After winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title, now the Indian team is ready to play a series against Zimbabwe. Meanwhile, some changes have been made in the squad by the BCCI, because the players of the world champion team have not yet returned to India. Sanju Samson is also a part of that team.
In his place, Jitesh Sharma has been included in the Indian team for the first two matches. Meanwhile, the biggest question is where is Ishan Kishan. He is not seen anywhere in the picture. The kind of events that have happened in the last few times, it seems that Ishan Kishan’s return is now very difficult.
When the Indian team was selected for the T20 World Cup 2024, Rishabh Pant was the first choice wicketkeeper. When he returned to the IPL and not only scored runs for his team Delhi Capitals, but also took the responsibility of keeping very seriously, it was understood that now he is going to return to Team India as well. After this the question was who would be the second keeper. The strongest contenders for this were Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan. Sanju Samson did amazing batting and brilliant captaincy for his team Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. If we talk about Ishan Kishan, he could not play a very amazing innings, but still the way he plays, it could have helped in his selection, but the selectors probably did not pay attention to him.
Ishan Kishan was not remembered even for the Zimbabwe series
When Ishan Kishan was not selected in the T20 World Cup, it was expected that when the Indian team goes on a tour of Zimbabwe, his selection is almost certain, because Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson will rest after the World Cup and any other two wicket keepers can get a chance. Ishan Kishan was at the forefront in this. But when the team was selected for the Zimbabwe series, Rishabh Pant was not in it, but Sanju Samson was given a chance and Dhruv Jurel’s name was also written with him. That is, Ishan Kishan was not given a chance in this series as well.
Even after the change in the team, there was no entry
The limit was crossed when the BCCI made some changes in the team on Tuesday. Sanju Samson is still in Barbados, so he will not be able to play the first two matches and the BCCI changed three players. Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dubey were out of the team for the first two matches. Harshit Rana, Sai Sudarshan and Jitesh Sharma were included in their place. That is, Jitesh will fill the void of Sanju.

Ishan Kishan was not remembered here either. Jitesh Sharma also did not do anything special for his team Punjab Kings in the IPL, despite this the selectors remembered him, but Ishan Kishan was left behind here too. It seems that the BCCI and the selectors have completely turned their backs on Ishan Kishan, so he is not able to return. However, it is difficult to say right now whether Ishan Kishan will return soon or he will have to sit out.
