Early life
Ishan Kishan was born on 18 July 1998 in Bihar in a Bhumihar Brahmin family. He hails from a small city Nawada in Bihar. His father, Pranav Kumar Pandey is a builder by profession in Patna.[5] Due to registration issues between Bihar Cricket Association and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Ishan started playing for neighboring state Jharkhand.[6][7]
Domestic career
On 6 November 2016, Kishan scored 273 runs against Delhi in the 2016–17 Ranji Trophy, setting a new record for a player for Jharkhand in the competition.[8][9] He was the leading run-scorer for Jharkhand in the 2017–18 Ranji Trophy, with 484 runs in six matches[10] and in the 2018–19 Vijay Hazare Trophy, with 405 runs in nine matches.[11]
In October 2018, he was named in the India C squad for the 2018–19 Deodhar Trophy,[12] scoring a century in the tournament's final.[13] In February 2019, in the 2018–19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he scored an unbeaten century against Jammu and Kashmir.[14] In the next match, against Manipur, he scored 113 not out to record back-to-back centuries in the tournament.[15]
In August 2019, he was named in India Red's squad for the 2019–20 Duleep Trophy[16][17] and in October in the India A squad for the same competition.[18] In February 2021, on the opening day of the 2020–21 Vijay Hazare Trophy, Kishan scored 173 runs against Madhya Pradesh, part of a record score of 422.[19][20]
Indian Premier League
In 2016, Kishan was bought by Gujarat Lions in the 2016 IPL auction.[21] In 2018, he was bought by the Mumbai Indians in the 2018 auction.[22] He was the highest run-scorer for Mumbai in the 2020 season, with 516 runs from 14 matches[23] and won the award for hitting the most sixes during the season.[24]
Ahead of the 2022 IPL, Kishan was bought again by Mumbai for ₹15.25 crore (equivalent to ₹16 crore or US$2.0 million in 2023), making him the second-most expensive Indian player at the auction after Yuvraj Singh.[25]
International career
In February 2021, Ishan was named in India's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their home series against England.[26] It was his maiden international call-up[27] and he went on to make his debut on 14 March 2021, scoring 56 from 32 balls.[4] He won the player of the match award.[28]

In October 2022, Kishan scored his then ODI career highest score of 93 runs in the second of three ODIs against the touring South Africans[32] before going on to become the youngest―aged 24 years and 145 days―and the fastest player to score a double century in an ODI in December during India's tour of Bangladesh. He scored 210 runs from 131 balls,[33] reaching the 200-run mark in 126 deliveries to beat Chris Gayle's record of 138 balls.[33] He also became the first player to convert a maiden ODI century into a double century,[2] and the fourth Indian player to score a double century in an ODI.[34]
