“What did Ishan Kishan talk to Jay Shah about? Central contracts?” Internet speculates on epic encounter

Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the two most notable Mumbai Indians players are captain Hardik Pandya and Ishan Kishan. The appointment of Hardik Pandya to replace Rohit Sharma created a lot of controversy. Things are different for Ishan Kishan. His sudden absence from India’s Tour of South Africa and his absence from the Jharkhand Ranji Trophy event were widely discussed. This is despite Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid telling Ishan Kishan that he needs to play some form of domestic cricket.

Later, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said that playing domestic cricket is the most important game of cricket. Ishan Kishan has also been omitted from BCCI’s latest centralized list of signed players.

Interestingly, Ishan Kishan and Jay Shah met after the Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians IPL 2024 match in Ahmedabad on Sunday. There’s some interesting speculation on the internet about the meeting.

Ishan Kishan’s poor form continues as he was dismissed for a four-ball duck in Mumbai Indians’ IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans on Sunday . Kishan, who has struggled to score in the past few games, failed to score again. Kishan faced just four balls in the match before being dismissed by Azmatullah Umarzai in Mumbai Indians’ first innings. Kishan ended up playing the ball away from his body while dealing with Omarzai’s off-spinner, Friedhiman Saha taking the catch with ease.

Rahul Dravid recently broke his silence on the return of Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan to the Indian cricket team.

“They are always in the mix. Everyone who plays cricket and domestic cricket is in the mix. I don’t decide on contracts. It’s the board and selectors who decide. I don’t even know what the criteria are. People ask me about The view of No. 15 is that Rohit and I picked the XI. We never discuss whether a player has a contract or not, whether he will be selected or not. There are enough examples of whether a player has a contract or not in different formats of the game or not. No contract or not,” Dravid said at the post-match press conference after the fifth India vs England Test.

“When we make these decisions, I sometimes don’t even know who is in the list of players to sign. No one is left out. It’s a matter of them getting fit, playing cricket again and forcing the selectors to pick them again.”
