Few days ago, Ishan Kishan signed a short two-game contract with County side Nottinghamshire. And now, on his first game, he has made a striking effect. On Monday at Trent Bridge, the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman made 87 runs against Yorkshire, leaving everyone amazed. Batting at No. 6, Kishan was in command from the beginning. He completed his half-century off just 57 balls, and there were eight boundaries he hit in the process. What impressed more was the way he completed his 50 - off two consecutive fours off New Zealand pacer William O'Rourke. He also combined well with Liam Patterson-White to see Nottinghamshire go past the 300 mark with comfort. Kishan came in after Ben Slater was dismissed for 96, with the game at 225/4. He continued the run flow and was well on his way to a century, his ninth in first-class cricket. But an off-spinner got him out for 87, just 13 runs away from a well-earned century. Nevertheless, it was a good debut effort which Nottinghamshire will be pleased with. Just 13 short, but what a debut knock — Ishan Kishan smashes 87 off 98 for Nottinghamshire! 🔥👏 pic.twitter.com/s8IHwC7qX2 — CricketGully (@thecricketgully) June 23, 2025 Also Read | Watch: Rahul Tells Pant ‘Watch the Ball’, His Reply is Pure Gold Slater, Hameed Shine for Nottinghamshire Earlier, Nottinghamshire opted to bat first on a fine track.
