Ishan Kishan's Hidden RBI Job as Assistant Manager Revealed
The Indian wicketkeeper-batter has been quietly serving as a government employee at the Reserve Bank of India's Patna branch.
While most Indian cricket stars use honorary government posts as a formality, Ishan Kishan has taken a different path. The wicketkeeper-batter has been spotted working as a regular employee at the Reserve Bank of India's Patna office, complete with an official ID card and uniform. His commitment to this role has surprised fans who assumed his focus remained solely on cricket.
According to reports, Kishan secured this position through the sports quota and has been serving as an Assistant Manager. The job comes with a monthly salary of approximately ₹1.25 lakh, translating to a yearly CTC of nearly ₹24 lakh. Following the conclusion of India's T20I and ODI series against England in July, Kishan reported to his government duties, fulfilling his responsibilities alongside his banking colleagues.
Viral pictures show Kishan in a blue office shirt, mingling with coworkers and seniors after completing his assigned tasks. This revelation adds a new dimension to his public persona, proving that his dedication extends beyond the cricket field. While the Men in Blue prepare for their Sri Lanka tour without him, Kishan appears content balancing his cricketing career with a genuine civil service role.
