(Cricket News) The dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan recently opted out of the Indian team citing mental fatigue, a decision respected by the team management. However, he prolonged absence from selection raises eyebrows, especially as reports surface regarding his discontentment with Jitesh Sharma’s selection in the T20I squad.

A storm appears to be brewing in the midst of Indian cricket’s bustling dynamics as this decision, according to sources, has not only irked Kishan but also raised questions about his future role in the playing XI.

The young wicketkeeper from Jharkand is having difficulty finding a spot in the top order because of the presence of experienced players like Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in the ranks, as well as the management’s support of Jitesh Sharma, who can score runs at a lower order.

Dravid has stated that Kishan must play domestic cricket before he can return, which emphasizes the importance of the ongoing Ranji Trophy. On the other hand, Kishan’s exclusion from Jharkhand’s starting eleven adds to the speculation about his future plans.

Kishan has a difficult time getting back into the T20I squad, while Jitesh Sharma is taking advantage of the chance to solidify his berth. The upcoming IPL season may act as a battleground for both players as they compete for selection and recognition in advance of the T20 World Cup.
