They say that cricket is a great leveller and the man to learn it the hard way is Ishan Kishan who has seen both ends of the spectrum already in just the two matches wearing the orange jersey of SRH. Ishan Kishan came into the tournament with a point to prove and he set off in a blazing way in the first game against RR as he smoked a 45-ball century on debut for SRH and remained unbeaten on 106 off just 47 balls which included 11 fours and 6 maximums.

Walking in to bat at Abhishek Sharma's departure with SRH at 15/1 after 2.1 overs Ishan Kishan got a faint tickle down the leg side off Shardul Thakur who sent the centurion packing and got two wickets in two balls.

He picked up two wickets in an over in LSG's first match against DC as well and registered figures of 2/19 in 2 overs and here again he has picked two wickets in an over, this time off successive deliveries and two big ones of those in Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan.

The returning Avesh Khan has got a bit of tap from the Aussie as SRH have crossed fifty inside 5 overs.
