Ishan Kishan's Shoulder Injury Threatens Ireland T20I Participation
The Indian wicketkeeper-batter suffered a nasty fall while fielding during the second ODI against Afghanistan, putting his availability for the two-match T20I series in Ireland in doubt.
Ishan Kishan's scintillating form with the bat in the second ODI against Afghanistan was overshadowed by an injury scare. The left-hander smashed 125 off 79 balls, his second ODI century, but later hurt his shoulder while attempting a catch in the deep during Afghanistan's innings.
The injury occurred in the 39th over when Kishan misjudged a pull shot from Rahmat Shah and fell awkwardly on his shoulder and elbow. He was seen applying ice packs and left the field. With just over a week until India's first T20I against Ireland, the BCCI medical team is monitoring his recovery, though initial signs suggest he should be fit for the series.
