If no extra runs are scored, a batting team can score a maximum of 72 runs in two overs. This seems like an almost impossible task to do. T20 is the most unpredictable format of cricket, New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi has become its victim. Sodhi gave away 58 runs in 2 overs and also hit a lot of fours and sixes.

A strange coincidence happened with Ish Sodhi in the T20 series against India. Indian batsmen scored 58 runs in their 2 overs. In fact, in the fourth T20 match, Shivam Dubey had scored 29 runs in his over, while in the fifth T20 match, Ishan Kishan did the same feat.

58 runs in 12 balls

The fourth T20 match vs India was played in Visakhapatnam. Team India was in a struggling situation, then Ish Sodhi was seen flying in the storm named Shivam Dubey. Till the 11th over of the innings, Shivam Dubey was playing after scoring 12 runs in 6 balls. He hit 3 sixes and 2 fours in Ish Sodhi’s over. A total of 29 runs were scored in this over. Dubey completed his fifty in 15 balls, which was the third fastest fifty for India in the history of international T20 cricket.

Ishan Kishan did the same thing against Ish Sodhi in Thiruvananthapuram. This time too Sodhi came to bowl the 12th over of the innings, in which Ishan Kishan hit 4 fours and 2 sixes. 29 runs came in this over also. In this way Ish Soshi gave away 58 runs in 12 balls of 2 matches.

Ishan Kishan’s first century

Ishan Kishan played an explosive inning of 103 runs in 43 balls in this match. This is his first century in T20 career. In fact, his century was completed in just 42 balls, making him the fifth fastest century for India in T20 International cricket.

In the fifth T20, India destroyed New Zealand bowlers, made the third highest score; Ishan Kishan’s explosive century

The Indian cricket team has taken a 2-0 lead in the 5-match T20 series by defeating New Zealand in Raipur. In the second match, India had a target of 209 runs to win, chasing which India lost 2 wickets for 6 runs. After Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma flopped, but then Ishan Kishan (76) and Suryakumar Yadav (82) made this big target look trivial by playing stormy innings.

In the video shared by BCCI, Suryakumar Yadav praised Ishan Kishan and asked him, “The target is 209 runs, 2 wickets have fallen for 6 runs. I have never seen anyone bat like this in my life. What happened today?” To this Ishan Kishan replied, “The ball was looking very good to me, I did not even feel that they (New Zealand bowlers) would get me out on a good ball. Even on a good ball, I felt that I would play it comfortably.”

kept distance from social media

Ishaan Kishan asked Surya what was in your mind? On this, Surya said, “Whenever we go home, it comes to our mind that there is a coach sitting there too, with whom we are married. She also keeps telling me that you should take some time. She knows me very well, so I thought let’s take some time. I took it in the last match, took it today too. I was playing well in the nets, but was not able to score in the match. Then I got a little break, went home, stayed away from social media completely. 3 weeks I practiced well and the most important thing is to be happy.”

What did Suryakumar Yadav say for Abhishek Sharma?

Suryakumar Yadav said, “And this was to stop the talk in front of the world that India will win only if Abhishek Sharma scores runs. India will win only if Ishan scores runs. However, Abhishek Sharma is also my favorite batsman and I want him to score runs in every match. This is a team game, the team wins only because of the entire 11 players.”

IND vs NZ 2nd T20: Ishan Kishan has also got a spring in his bat like Abhishek Sharma. In the second T20 match against New Zealand, there was no storm of Abhishek but there was definitely a storm of Ishaan. He scored 76 runs in 32 balls while hitting explosive shots against the Kiwi bowlers. In this innings played at a strike rate of 237, Ishan Kishan hit a total of 15 boundaries.

In this match played in Raipur, New Zealand batted first and scored 208 runs. In response, Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson were also out within the first 7 balls of the Indian innings. But Ishan Kishan’s bat was going to wreak havoc.

The Indian team had scored only 8 runs in the first 2 overs and also lost two wickets. From the third over, Ishan Kishan started ghosting the bowlers. A total of 24 runs came in this over of Zachary Foulkes. After that, fours and sixes kept raining continuously and in the eighth over itself, Team India had crossed the 100-run mark.
