Ishan Kishan seeking a comeback in Team India
Ishan’s presence at the high-profile wedding alongside the legendary Dhoni is significant. After a brief hiatus with BCCI, Ishan’s recent exclusion from the BCCI’s central contract list has raised eyebrows, with the young wicket-keeper batter facing criticism for his lack of participation in domestic cricket.
This comes from his poor form in recent matches, leading to concerns about his place in the team, especially after the T20 World Cup 2024. The BCCI’s strict stance on mandatory domestic cricket participation has also come under scrutiny, with Kishan and Shreyas Iyer facing the consequences of their decisions to date.

The bonding of Ranchi lads
The sight of Dhoni and Ishan dancing together at the wedding is a testament to the camaraderie and mentorship within the Indian cricket team. Dhoni, known for his role in nurturing young talent, has been instrumental in the development of many players, and Ishan’s inclusion in the team was a testament to the former captain’s influence and guidance on the player.
Though adding to the BCCI spat, at that time once before Ishan had requested a break from the national team citing mental fatigue. However, he was spotted partying in Dubai with MS Dhoni, raising questions about his commitment. This controversy led to speculation for which he later faced disciplinary action.
