Watch: Ishan Kishan loses his bat's control in air during IND vs NZ 2nd T20I
The number three batter of the Indian cricket team, Ishan Kishan, has lost the control of his bat against the spinner as it kept sailing in the air during the second T20I of the five-match series against New Zealand.
Runs are always a massive currency for any better, and Ishan Kishan found himself in the same position heading into the T20 World Cup 2026 as he batted at number three during the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, which is a great preparation for the Blue Brigade ahead of the ICC event.
Hilarious clip point divider around the social media platforms where Ishan Kishan lost control of his bat on the third ball of the fifth over against Mitchell Santner, where he swung hard as the back slipped out of his hands and flew towards square leg. The left-handed batter got an inside edge towards the left side as Tim Seifert had a smile before exchanging a few words with the batter in a smiley way.
