Ishan Kishan’s celebration after Jharkhand’s historic Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win has gone viral on the internet. Kishan, who led from the front with a century in the final against Haryana, broke the internet when he went all desi while receiving the trophy with his teammates.
In recent times, fans have seen several captains emulating Rohit Sharma or Lionel Messi as they celebrated winning the title with their team. But that will never be Ishan Kishan’s way.
The man of redemption chose the path of desi. He joined the team huddled dancing to bhangra beats before raising the trophy high above his head.
A HISTORIC FIRST FOR ISHAN KISHAN & JHARKHAND…!!!!
