Mumbai Indians’ young wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan was in splendid form with the bat yesterday. He was the one who helped his team to lift off at a tough time. Coming in to bat at number four, he took down the RCB bowlers singlehandedly and almost pulled off an un-imaginable victory, but faced defeat in the super overs. However, it won’t deny the magnificent contribution Ishan did for the team from Mumbai.
This super-man innings earned him a lot of fans and admirers on social media. Many of them started praising him for his valiant efforts. The most satisfying massage arrived from his rumoured girlfriend, Aditi Hundia.
The Story Of The Game That Really Got The Fans Hyped Up
Chasing a humungous total of 202, Mumbai Indians were struck with early blows as their captain Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav and opener Quinton De Kock departed early. Struggling for inspiration at the score of 78 for 4 in the 12th over young Ishan Kishan paired up with slog hitter, Kieron Pollard in taking charge of the rescue operations.
Boy, it was some show. Kishan batted through the very last of the game before the super over. He managed to score a stunning 99 runs before getting caught in the deep in the fifth ball of the last over. At one time, MI needed 90 runs for victory from last five overs. However, it was Kishan and Pollard made sure that they give a tough fight. They were able to match the score to force the super over. Ultimately, it was Kohli’s men in red who came out victorious in the tense encounter.
Even though Ishan’s 99 wasn’t enough to take his side home, it was more than enough to impress his rumoured girlfriend Aditi Hundia. Aditi is the winner of the Miss Supranational India 2018 competition. She is a famous model and has participated in top-level ‘beauty contests’. As per reports, both of them had been dating for quite some time now.
What Was The Message Sent Out By Aditi Hundia?
After the match, she posted a photo of Ishan Kishan on her Instagram Stories. The image was mentioned with the caption: “I am so so proud of you baby.”
It was good to see this gesture, as she supported her boyfriend despite the loss. It was a close and fiesty game and either side could have won the match. Unfortunately, the batsmen of the Mumbai Indians messed things up in that crucial over.
Ishan Kishan will be wishing to continue to put up great performances like this in IPL 2020. He will surely want to make this stage of his own. The rising talent team-wise will think to take Mumbai Indians out of difficult times and pour in sensational innings to help his side to playoffs. Maybe, Rohit Sharma could fancy him to bat a little higher if he feels so. One case is sure that Ishan has won million’s heart with his glamours innings. Hopefully, he will carry the same stigma throughout the tournament and impress Aditi even more.
