Ishan Kishan Scores Century in Buchi Babu Opener

Ishan Kishan made a sensational return to domestic cricket, scoring a blistering 86-ball century for Jharkhand in the opening round of the Buchi Babu Invitational Tournament against Madhya Pradesh. Kishan, who captained his team and batted at number six, hit nine sixes in his 114-run innings, helping Jharkhand take a first-innings lead. This performance comes after a hiatus from cricket due to mental health and travel fatigue, which led to his exclusion from the BCCI central contracts and the T20 World Cup squad. His return to form could see him being considered for India's upcoming Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Kishan's aggressive innings are being widely praised, and he is set to participate in the Duleep Trophy, where national selectors will further assess his performance.
