India wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan was in a brilliant form against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 match in Colombo on Sunday. The left-handed batter who opened the innings with Abhishek Sharma took the onus on himself after India suffered an early blow.
Kishan along side Tilak Varma stitched a partnership of 87 runs for the second wicket. The wicket-keeper batter dominated the Pakistan spinners and especially Abrar Ahmed as he eventually notched up 77 off 40.
He was undone by Saim Ayub while trying to hit one on the side. He completely missed the ball and it hit the stumps behind. Earlier, Abhishek was out for 0.

Covering sports for fun. Cricket in whites remains the first love—the kind that teaches patience, rewards nuance, and tells stories over five days rather than five seconds.
