Kishan kissed the ball before taking off on his run-up just like Malinga used to.
Mumbai: There has been a lot of talk around Ishan Kishan since he decided to skip Ranji games for Jharkhand. But now he is at the Mumbai Indians camp ahead of the brand-new season of the IPL. During MI’s net session yesterday, Kishan was spotted having a great time. Kishan was spotted emulating former Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga’s bowling action. Kishan did it in front of the Lankan, who was laughing. Kishan kissed the ball before taking off on his run-up just like Malinga used to. Here is the clip that is now going viral on social space ahead of IPL 2024.

Eyes would certainly be on Kishan to see how is his form as he could be in contention for a spot in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
The Mumbai Indians side play their opener versus Gujarat Titans on March 24 at the Narendra Modi stadium. Eyes would certainly be on Hardik Pandya as well as he returns to his old franchise, this time as the captain.

Tilak Varma, Tim David, Vishnu Vinod, Arjun Tendulkar, Shams Mulani, Nehal Wadhera, Jasprit Bumrah, Kumar Kartikeya, Piyush Chawla, Akash Madhwal, Jason Behrendorff, Romario Shepherd, Hardik Pandya (c), Gerald Coetzee, Dilshan Madushanka, Shreyas Gopal, Nuwan Thushara, Naman Dhir, Anshul Kamboj, Mohammad Nabi, Shivalik Sharma.
