Ishan Kishan Returns To Cricket With Disappointing Show In DY Patil T20 Cup 2024, Read How He Performed Here

Ishan Kishan made his comeback to competitive cricket on Tuesday during the 18th DY Patil T20 Cup 2024, representing RBI against Route Mobile Limited. However, his return was marred by a significant defeat, with his team losing by a whopping 89 runs to Route Mobile Limited.

In his comeback match, Kishan contributed to one dismissal by stumping Sumit Dhekale off Sayan Mondal's bowling at the DY Patil University Ground. With the bat, he showed some flashes of brilliance, scoring 19 runs off 12 deliveries, including two boundaries and a six, before departing. All fans must have expected a stronger return to cricket from the youngster but it seems like they will have to wait again to see him shine once again.

Route batted first and posted 192 for eight in their 20 overs thanks to Aayush Vartan’s 54 off 31 balls with five boundaries and three sixes. Dhekale made 42 off just 17 balls with one boundary and five sixes. In their response RBI self-destructed as they were shot out for just 103 in 16.3 overs. For Route the best bowler was Badrey Alam (5-20). (Hardik Pandya Returns To Competitive Cricket After World Cup Injury, Here's How He Performed)

At the Stadium meanwhile CAG posted 170 off their allotted 20 overs against Indian Oil. Skipper R Sanjay (40) and his partner Varun Lavande (68: 46b, 5x4, 3x6) shared a 88 run opening stand. For Indian Oil the best bowler was Himanshu Sharma (4-32).  The chase for Indian Oil was being fashioned by Akshay Raghuvanshi (53: 32b, 3x4, 4x6) and his 54 run stand with skipper Aditya Tare (37). But the middle and late order collapsed without a fight handing CAG a narrow two run win.

Today finally Ishan Kishan returned to Cricket field through DY Patil T20 Cup.

In the other game, Central Railway after being asked to bat was bowled out for 145 in 17.2 overs. The chase for Jain started off well thanks to their skipper Jay Bista. Jain overhauled the target in 18.3 overs to finish on 146 for five and thereby sealed a five-wicket win.
