Danish Kaneria has pointed out that many fans and media houses want Ishan Kishan to be dropped from the team, as he failed in the first ODI against Australia.
The former player believes Ishan doesn’t deserve to sit out as he should be given more time to prove himself.
“You cannot drop Ishan Kishan so early. he cannot be removed like this. He is a talented player and will do well in the future. The ball was seaming and swinging in the opening game,” he said.
“He was in the Test team against Australia, and it is not easy to play white-ball cricket straightaway. The media went after him. They shouldn’t forget that there are still two one-day internationals left. Let him play,” he said.
Ishan got a chance in the Mumbai game as Rohit Sharma was unavailable. He would return for the second contest. Meanwhile, Kishan scored three runs before his dismissal against Marcus Stoinis.
