Ishan Kishan struck his maiden Indian Premier League (IPL) hundred on Sunday as he slammed a magnificent unbeaten 106 against Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Playing his first match for Sunrisers Hyderabad, the former Mumbai Indians star reached the three figures in just 45 balls.
Coming into bat at the fall of Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, who was released by by Mumbai Indians last year, proved his point as he dispatched the Rajasthan Royals bowlers all around the park.
The left-hander first stitched a 85-run stand for the second wicket with Travis Head, before forging another 72 runs with Nitish Kumar Reddy for the third wicket and 56 runs for the fourth wicket with South African import Heinrich Klaasen.
At 86 off 42 balls, Ishan Kishan hammered two back-to-back sixes off Sandeep Sharma in the 19th over before completing his maiden IPL ton with a double on the last ball of the same over.
