Ishan Kishan, initially considered as a replacement for injured Rishabh Pant in the India vs England Test, is currently unfit due to an ankle injury sustained from a scooty fall, and thus cannot step in as cover for Pant, who is out for 6-8 weeks with a broken foot.
Mumbai Indians have assembled a formidable batting line-up that has chased down three consecutive totals of 200 or more in the IPL, without major contributions from Rohit Sharma. Ishan Kishan and Nehal Wadhera have been instrumental in these chases, with Mumbai's lower middle order also displaying finishing qualities. Mumbai's scouts have again shown their talent in unearthing Wadhera, who has played just five first-class matches. Mumbai's last three successful chases rank among the best in the IPL ever, making them arguably the most feared batting line-up in the IPL currently.
Ishan Kishan has replaced the injured KL Rahul in India's squad for the World Test Championship final against Australia. Rahul had been sidelined from the rest of the IPL and the WTC final with a thigh injury. Kishan is uncapped in Test cricket, but has played 14 ODIs and 27 T20Is so far. The BCCI is closely monitoring the progress of injured players Umesh Yadav and Jaydev Unadkat. Ajinkya Rahane might return to India's XI in the absence of both Rahul and Shreyas Iyer.
