“Bhai Kasam Se”: Ishan Kishan does a ‘Rishabh Pant’, offers suggestion to bowler in IND A vs AUS A clash

Ishan Kishan made 36 runs across the two innings in the India A vs Australia A four-day match.

Indian keepers have a knack for chirping behind the stumps. While Rishabh Pant is known for his quirky one-liners, it was Ishan Kishan this time who was unintentionally hilarious while keeping during the ongoing India A vs Australia A four-day clash.

“Manav aata hai kya?” Ishan Kishan with hilarious stump mic antics

Courtesy of Sai Sudharsan’s brilliant hundred and Devdutt Padikkal’s 88, India A handed a target of 225 runs to the hosts at the Great Barrier Read Arena. In their chase, Australian opener Marcus Harris was looking set. To make matters interesting, Ishan Kishan suggested a ploy to left-arm spinner Manav Suthar. While Haris was leaving his crease to tackle the spin, Kishan kept asking Suthar to bowl a straighter one or an arm ball to outfox the southpaw.

Bhai Kasam se seedha wala phek de. Edge kha jayega. Agar aata hai toh seedha wala phek de edge kha jayega ye (Marcus Harris).,” said Ishan Kishan before Suthar delivered a bowl. However, Harris used his feet and guided the ball to the mid-wicket fielder after which Kishan said, “Yaar seedha wala phek deta. Manav aata hai kya seedha daalna?”

Ishan Kishan’s ploy works!

This was a funny incident that was caught on the stump mic. What’s more interesting is the fact that both Suthar and Kishan combined to send Harris back. And guess what? The Aussie batter got out in the same fashion that Kishan envisioned. During the 30th over, Suthar bowled a quicker one that not only drew Harris forward but induced a slender edge that was comfortably taken by Kishan.

As far as the match is concerned, the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side is currently on the backfoot. They need to take seven wickets before Australia A make 86 more runs. Nathan McSweeney, the AUS A skipper, is currently unbeaten at 47.
