He amassed a score of 111 runs off 126 balls. He has smashed three sixes and 14 boundaries during the innings.

Kishan was picked for the Test tour of South Africa in December of last year in 2023. However, he sidelined himself from the tour citing mental fatigue. After that he has not been picked up in the Indian squad. He was dropped from the central contract by BCCI earlier this year as he skipped the domestic season and started preparing for the IPL.

The 189-run partnership between Ishan Kishan and Baba Indrajith placed India C on the dominant position at the end of Day 1. At the time of writing, India C have scored 300 runs for the loss of 3 wickets.
