NEW DELHI: It’s not easy being Ishan Kishan. For the Indian team management, he is the designated backup opener to Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in T20 cricket. Yet, he is the one who invariably plays many matches.
With the crammed schedule dictating that players often get rest, either Rohit or Rahul is always unavailable. And in the case of the ongoing series against South Africa, since both Rohit and Rahul are missing, Ishan has to play the senior opener’s role.
