Ishan Kishan age, height, hometown, family & IPL salary

Mumbai Indians' wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan did not have the perfect start to the IPL 2020 season as right before the competition's first match, the youngster picked up a shoulder injury that did not allow him to play against Chennai Super Kings. Kishan's niggle kept him out of his team's second fixture versus Kolkata Knight Riders as well.

In his absence, the team management included Saurabh Tiwary in the playing XI, and the seasoned pro did a fantastic job in the middle-order. Very few fans expected him to lose his place after those two performances. However, the Mumbai Indians backed young Ishan Kishan and picked him ahead of Tiwary for the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Mumbai's decision to back Kishan paid off as the left-handed batsman played a magnificent innings of 99 runs that helped the defending champions reach close to the mammoth target of 202 runs. Although Mumbai could not win eventually, Ishan Kishan won everyone's hearts with his 58-ball knock, including two fours and nine sixes.
