Former cricketer Aakash Chopra emphasizes the upcoming IPL 2025 as a significant chance for Ishan Kishan, who moved from Mumbai Indians to Sunrisers Hyderabad. Chopra, on his YouTube channel, highlights Kishan’s undeniable skills despite recent lack of attention, stating, “The biggest opportunity lies with Ishan Kishan, whose importance seems overlooked.”
Chopra praised Kishan’s double-century in ODIs against Bangladesh, highlighting his rare achievement. He commended Kishan’s ability to hit sixes and adapt in matches. Kishan is set to join SRH for IPL 2025, and his performance in the team, led by Pat Cummins, will be a point of interest given his expertise in middle-order batting.
Sunrisers Hyderabad has solid openers in Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. Despite this, the franchise invested ₹11.25 crore in Kishan during the recent IPL auction, indicating faith in his skills. It will be intriguing to observe how SRH incorporates Kishan into their 2025 IPL lineup, considering the mix of experienced and fresh talent.
In 2024, Kishan played 14 matches for Mumbai Indians, scoring 320 runs at 22.86 with a strike rate of 148.84. He hit a fifty and his highest score was 69. Across 105 IPL matches, he’s totaled 2,644 runs at 28.43, with a strike rate of 135.87, also recording 16 fifties and a top score of 99.
During the 2024-25 domestic season, the wicketkeeper batter excelled, playing for Jharkhand in all three tournaments. In the Ranji Trophy, he scored 176 runs in six innings, including a 101-run knock against Railways. He also performed well in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, smashing 316 runs in seven innings with a century, and in the Syed Musthaq Ali Trophy, he gathered 161 runs in six innings, including a fifty.
