New Delhi: Indian wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan rolled his arms during the Buchi Babu invitational match between Jharkhand and Hyderabad. Kishan has been out of the Indian squad and is looking to grab the attention of the selectors.
He scored 114 runs off 107 balls on his domestic return and helped his team to beat Madhya Pradesh by two wickets. He smashed five boundaries and ten sixes during his brilliant knock in the Buchi Babu Tournament.
After smashing the century in the last match, Kishan decided to roll his arms against Hyderabad. The left-handed batter has never bowled in international cricket. Likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Shubman Gill also bowled in the Sri Lanka series and Rishabh Pant also rolled his arms in the Delhi Premier League.
Seeing his teammates bowling Kishan might have decided to show that he can also be an option with the ball. He bowled two overs and gave just five runs.
