Good things come to those who wait and wait with a sense of perseverance and excellence always backing themselves to deliver big results when it most matters. Isn’t it? The same law of life, one that’s accepted universally, one might argue, can be applied to a certain Ishan Kishan. Here’s a resolute performer. A calm destructor.

And now, the in-form dashing opener, famously part of a third T20 World Cup crown for his Team India, has a refreshing new opportunities to turn fans and admirers further towards his side.
How so?
