The break taught me a lesson, many changes came.

According to Kishan, his understanding of the game has increased a lot. He has matured a lot and his perspective of watching the game has also changed.

What was the Kishan-BCCI case?
As soon as the 2023 ODI World Cup ended, Ishan Kishan was sent to South Africa with Team India for the T20 series. There, Jitesh Sharma was given a chance before him as a wicketkeeper. At the same time, before the Test series, there was talk of getting KL Rahul to do wicketkeeping. After this, Ishan got angry and withdrew his name from the series. He asked for a break from BCCI in the name of mental fatigue, but after returning from South Africa, he appeared in some shows and events. Here things got worse. BCCI said that he would have to participate in domestic cricket but he did not agree. Then BCCI took action and removed him from the central contract.
