SRH Star Ishan Kishan Set for India ODI Comeback After Explosive Vijay Hazare Trophy Form

Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Ishan Kishan is reportedly set to make a significant return to the Indian ODI squad for the upcoming three-match series against New Zealand, replacing Rishabh Pant. Kishan's selection comes on the back of sensational domestic form, particularly his explosive performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

In the opening round of the VHT, Kishan delivered a spectacular performance, smashing a mind-boggling 125 runs off just 39 balls while batting at number six, guiding his team to an emphatic victory. This consistency follows a strong showing in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, which earned him a recall to the T20I setup.

Kishan last featured in the ODI format during the 2023 World Cup, and his potential return for the New Zealand series signals the selectors' faith in his ability to perform across multiple positions and provide rapid scoring. The official squad announcement is expected shortly, confirming what could be a pivotal year for the young wicketkeeper-batter.
