On his 26th birthday, Ishan Kishan, the talented wicketkeeper-batter from Team India, made a spiritual journey to Shirdi to seek the blessings of Sai Baba. This gesture, captured in a heartfelt Instagram post, showed Kishan at the revered ‘Shree Samadhi Mandir’, where he expressed his hopes for a turnaround in his cricketing fortunes.
The visit to Shirdi comes at a significant juncture in Kishan’s career. Having last represented India in a T20I match against Australia on 28th November 2023, Kishan has been awaiting a recall to the national side. Following his request for a break, reportedly to rejuvenate and focus on his game, Kishan has faced challenges in reclaiming his spot.
His absence from the Annual Player Contracts for Team India’s 2023-24 season further underscored the challenges he faced in making a comeback. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had mandated that players not on national duty participate in the Ranji Trophy. However, Kishan made a personal decision not to play for Jharkhand in the tournament, which led to his exclusion from the central contracts list.

Despite these setbacks, Kishan remains determined and hopeful. His visit to Shirdi and the heartfelt plea for Sai Baba’s blessings reflect his optimism and faith in a brighter future. As he navigates this phase of his career, Kishan continues to train and prepare diligently, aiming to earn his rightful place back in the Indian team.
The journey to Shirdi holds special significance for Kishan, marking a moment of introspection and spiritual guidance. With the blessings of Sai Baba, Kishan hopes to overcome the challenges and once again don the Indian jersey, showcasing his talent and commitment on the international stage. His fans and well-wishers eagerly await his return, hopeful that this spiritual journey marks the beginning of a successful new chapter in Ishan Kishan’s cricketing journey.
