Ishan Kishan was spotted enjoying his county stint with Nottinghamshire, as the wicket-keeper batter was captured bowling both off-spin and leg-spin in one over—impersonating the actions of Harbhajan Singh and Shane Warne, with an added touch of MS Dhoni.
Ishan Kishan Shines with the Bat and Entertains with the Ball in County Cricket
Ishan Kishan, who was picked in the India A squad for the tour of England, joined the county team Nottinghamshire once the series was over. He played two matches for them and notably scored two half-centuries in his aggressive fashion. However, both matches ended in a draw.
Though he contributed with the bat, he gathered attention when he was given a chance to bowl the last over of a match that was heading toward a draw. Ishan Kishan's bowling drew comparisons to MS Dhoni, who bowled a few overs against England in the 2014 series.
