The young Indian wicket-keeper batsman, Ishan Kishan was in the 7th heaven after making a dream ODI debut against Sri Lanka in the first ODI of the three-match series in Colombo on Sunday. Kishan, making his ODI debut, came into bat after the dismissal of Prithvi Shaw, who got India off to a rollicking start in a 263-run chase.
While it seemed that the birthday boy would take his time to get his eye in before unleashing, Ishan Kishan had other plans. The 23-year-old dasher came out all guns blazing and enjoyed the most glorious first two balls. Off the first ball, he danced down the track and smashed it for a six straight back past Dahanjaya de Silva and picked up a boundary of his next.
