Fri Sep 13 13:57:38 UTC 2024: ## Ishan Kishan Blasts Century in Duleep Trophy Return, Announces Himself in Style

**BENGALURU, INDIA -** Ishan Kishan announced his return to domestic cricket in style, smashing a scintillating century for India C against India B in the Duleep Trophy 2024. The left-handed batter, who made a late entry into the India C squad, showcased his class and intent, reaching the three-figure mark off just 119 balls.

Kishan’s century comes at a crucial juncture in his career. He was previously excluded from the Indian Test squad due to mental health concerns and was advised by the BCCI to focus on domestic cricket. His impressive performance in the Duleep Trophy is a strong indication of his return to form and a potential comeback to the national team.

Kishan’s knock was even more impressive considering the circumstances. India C were struggling after their captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, retired hurt early in the innings. Kishan walked in after quick wickets fell and, along with Baba Indrajith, steadied the innings with a crucial 150-run partnership.

This century marks Kishan’s 7th in first-class cricket, highlighting his consistent run-scoring ability. He was last seen in the Duleep Trophy in 2020, where he scored a double century.

The knock comes as a boost for India C, who are currently in a strong position in the match. It also serves as a strong statement by Kishan as he aims to reclaim his spot in the Indian team.
