Ishika is a journalist with over three years of experience, currently involved in the dynamic world of college sports reporting at Sportskeeda. Ishika's journey as a journalist started in 2022 and currently pursuing a Master's degree in English, she strives to constantly refine her communication skills and storytelling.

Ishika particularly enjoys writing throwback pieces, where she gets to deep-dive into snippets of history. She strives to collect information only from reliable sources and considers factors like the source's reputation, authoritativeness, and potential bias.

Her favorite college football moment was the Texas Longhorns' shocking upset over Alabama in 2023, with No. 11 Texas rolling into Tuscaloosa and taking down the No. 3 Crimson Tide 34-24, snapping their 21-game home winning streak. Nick Saban's combination of sustained excellence, strategic prowess, and championship pedigree makes him her favorite coach.

Apart from being a Patrick Mahomes and Carson Beck fan, she enjoys following Texas Tech. With their history of pulling off upsets and going toe-to-toe with bigger programs, the Red Raiders are her favorite team. They also have a knack for developing quarterbacks who light up the NFL, with Mahomes being a prime example.

When she's not analyzing the intricacies of the game, Ishika finds solace in dance and cinema.
