Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan surprised India C during their Duleep Trophy second round match against India B at the Rural Development Trust Stadium B in Anantapur on Thursday. Kishan did not play the first round of Duleep Trophy matches due to a groin injury sustained while playing for Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu tournament. After the Indian squad was announced for the first Test match against Bangladesh, there were many changes to the Duleep Trophy squads, but Kishan did not feature in the announcement. As a result, the fans were stunned when he was named as India C’s No. 1 batsman for the match against India B.

Kishan was initially included in the India D squad but Sanju Samson was named in his place after he missed the first round of matches. Another thing that confused the fans was that the BCCI said in their media release that no changes were made to the India C squad.
