They say when a cricketer is out of form almost everything can go against him and that is exactly what happened with Mumbai Indians (MI) wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan. The southpaw opener who has been struggling for form got out in one of the most bizarre manners in the ongoing match against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to the leg-spinner, Ravi Bishnoi.
MI and LSG are locking horns with each other in the 37th match of the IPL 2022 at the Wankhede stadium. After winning the toss, MI opted to bowl first and LSG on the back of a second consecutive KL Rahul century against them managed to reach 168/6. Rahul was the only batter who kept his team in the game as his unbeaten knock was laced with 12 boundaries and 4 sixes at a strike rate of 166.12.

Mumbai Indians came out to chase the target as they opened with regular opener Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Rohit Sharma made signs of a return to form as he smashed Dushamnatha Chameera and other LSG bowlers left, right, and center. Ishan Kishan on the other hand was struggling for form yet again and was unable to break the shackles.
The left-hander was batting on 8 from 19 balls when he and the fans witnessed one of the most bizarre incidents. On the first ball of the seventh over Ravi Bishnoi was bowling and Ishan tried to smack the ball which was going wide over the cover region but got the lower edge of the bat.

Normally the ball would have hit the ground and bounced but Ishan Kishan was so unlucky as he ended up hitting Quinton de Kock’s boot as it bounced back up only for Jason Holder to take an easy catch at slip which he almost spilled.

Ishan Kishan = Bad form + Khrab Kismat 😭😭
Bring back original form Ishan!— Ravi Shankar Dwivedi (@oye_rsd) April 24, 2022
I don’t want anyone ever comparing ishan kishan to sanju Samson ever again. Ishan kishan should not be in the same sentence as Sanju Samson it’s an insult to sanju. This guy ishan always looks out of form and unreliable . Only hits one match

Ishan Kishan should understand that his fearless game is his x factor, this game lacking intention is not doing any good for both him and team
