Sat Nov 30 14:22:42 UTC 2024: ## Ishan Kishan’s Explosive Innings Revives His India Chances

**Ranchi, India:** Ishan Kishan has reignited his international cricket career with a blistering performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. The young Indian star smashed 77 runs off just 23 balls against Arunachal Pradesh, achieving a staggering strike rate of 334. His innings included 9 sixes and 5 fours, with a remarkable 74 runs coming from boundaries.

Kishan’s explosive display led Jharkhand to a comfortable victory over Arunachal Pradesh, who were bowled out for 93. Jharkhand chased down the target in just 4.3 overs. This remarkable performance has put Kishan back in the limelight after a period away from the national team.

Kishan’s absence from the Indian team in recent times was attributed to a lack of engagement with domestic cricket and a perceived lack of adherence to team management’s instructions. His impressive showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy could pave the way for a return to the national squad, particularly given his previous success, including a double century in an ODI. He will also be playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the upcoming IPL season.

The explosive innings is seen as a potential turning point, boosting his chances for selection in the upcoming South Africa series and beyond. However, continued adherence to team guidelines and consistent strong performances will be crucial for securing his place in the Indian team long-term.
