It’s a rare sight to witness Kishan, usually stationed behind the wickets with his gloves on, taking on a bowling role.

Kishan’s comeback in domestic cricket

Kishan’s participation in domestic cricket holds special significance, particularly given the turbulent year he’s experienced. Earlier in 2024, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) excluded Kishan from its central contracts list after the wicket-keeper batter declined to participate in the latter stages of the Ranji Trophy, despite multiple instructions from the board. This decision followed Kishan’s earlier choice to opt out of India’s Test series against South Africa, citing mental health reasons, which kept him off the field for several months. Kishan’s last appearance for the national team was in the T20I series against Australia in November 2023.

The Buchi Babu cricket tournament marks Kishan’s return to competitive cricket, and his presence on the field—whether as a batter, keeper, or surprise bowler—is a welcome sight for fans. With his focus now on domestic cricket, Kishan is gearing up for the upcoming Duleep Trophy, where he will represent the Team D squad under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer. His performance in these domestic tournaments could play a pivotal role in determining his pathway back to international cricket.
