Wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan, who is not currently a part of Team India, is set to make a direct appearance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Ishan Kishan left the South Africa tour midway and came back, since then he has been out of Team India. Despite repeated advice from Team India and BCCI to play in the Ranji Trophy, Ishan Kishan has ignored this suggestion and in the meantime, he has come forward.

On Thursday, Ishan Kishan shared a video, in which he is seen sweating in the gym with Hardik Pandya. Ishaan Kishan and Hardik Pandya are working out in the gym, where Hardik has challenged Ishaan to lift heavy weights. There is banter going on between them.

It is noteworthy that Ishan Kishan plays for Mumbai Indians in IPL and Hardik Pandya is now the captain of Mumbai Indians. Ever since Ishan Kishan has been out of Team India's radar, he has been seen spending time with Hardik Pandya. Perhaps this is the reason why he could not participate in the Ranji Trophy, whereas BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had said that every player will have to play in the Ranji Trophy.

As far as Ishan Kishan is concerned, he had returned from the South Africa tour and did not keep in touch with Team India. His move caused dissatisfaction among Team India management and BCCI officials. Despite repeated appeals, Ishan Kishan decided not to play in the Ranji Trophy and is now preparing for the upcoming IPL season, indicating his hope of making a comeback in the IPL.
