Ishan Kishan Celebrates Wicket With Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas, Video Goes Viral
Last Updated:
Ishan Kishan and Mohammad Abbas were seen celebrating a wicket together in a rare India-Pakistan moment, causing a stir online.
Star India wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was seen celebrating a wicket with Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas, in a rare India-Pakistan moment which has caused quite a stir on the internet, with the relations between the two nations at their lowest after the war-like situation last month.
After a long stint with Hampshire, Abbas moved to Nottinghamshire for this season, and that confirmed he would share the dressing room with Ishan, who agreed to take part in a bid to earn his place back in the national team in all three formats.
In the clip that went viral on social media, Ishan and Abbas combined to dismiss Yorkshire opener Adam Lyth for a golden duck that gave Nottinghamshire the perfect start to defending their first-innings total of 487.
Abbas dished out a length delivery round the wicket to Lyth, angling it down to the off stump. Watch the video here:
Earlier in the game, Nottinghamshire scored 487 in the first innings, where Ishan sent a reminder to Ajit Agarkar & Co. with his innings of 87 off 98.
Abbas' wicket gave Nottinghamshire a perfect start, before Finlay Bean stabilised with a 99-run partnership with James Wharton en route to his unbeaten innings of 86.
Notably, just six times in history have an Indian and a Pakistani cricketer shared the dressing room in County Cricket.
The first instance was in the 1970s, when Bishan Singh Bedi was part of the Northamptonshire team alongside Mushtaq Mohammad and Sarfaraz Nawaz.
After that, Zaheer Khan and Azhar Mahmood played together for Surrey in 2004, Harbhajan Singh and Azhar Mahmood in 2005 and Anil Kumble and Mohammad Akram in 2006.
Signed on a short-term contract for two Championship games, Ishan has stepped in for South Africa's Kyle Verreynne, who is on Test duty in Zimbabwe.
For India, Ishan has featured in two Tests till now, with a half-century to his name, but his reputation rests on his attacking white-ball exploits.
Ishan's county appearance comes after a productive Indian Premier League season with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, where he struck 354 runs at a healthy average of 35.4 and a strike rate above 152.

Aarit talented enough to become another Gukesh: Coach Sareen
New Delhi, June 29 (UNI) Nine-year-old Chess boy wonder Aarit Kapil, who recently held the legendary Magnus Carlsen to a draw in an online tournament, has the potential to reach the top in the game, says International Master (IM) Vishal Sareen. Aarit held Carlsen to a draw in an online blitz game at the 'Early Titled Tuesday' chess tournament on June 24. Besides holding the Norwegian great to a draw, Aarit is the youngest Indian and third youngest in the world to have defeated a Grand Master when he overcame veteran GM Raset Ziatdinov in the 15th KIIT International Chess Festival in Bhubaneswar in December 2024. The Delhi resident also won a silver at the Under 9 Chess nationals, a silver medal in both classical and rapid categories at the Under 8 Asian championships besides several other exploits at such a young age. Aarit's coach International Master (IM) Vishal Sareen describes him as the Sachin Tendulkar of Chess and says that he has the potential to reach the heights of D Gukesh, the reigning World Champion in the Classical format and R Praggnanandhaa, India's current number one player. "Aarit is the Sachin of Chess, the pace at which he picks up things is amazing, I think that going forward there will be no flaws in his game, he is just nine and is meant for very big things. He actually was in a very strong position against Carlsen. He was not overexcited after the match, and said that he wil beat him the next time, of course next time Magnus will be sharper and won't take him lightly, he can reach the level of Gukesh and Praggnanandhaa." Sareen points out that Chess is an expensive sport and without proper international exposure Aarit runs the risk of not reaching his full potential "I hope he gets a sponsor soon as Chess is an expensive sport, training modules, coaching all have high cost and for reaching one's full potential the player needs to compete at international events, so financial support is going to be crucial for him at the moment, which I hope he gets soon." Aarit's father Vijay who works as a Mutual Funds agent says that he has tried to support Aarit as much as possible but going forward it will be very difficult to sustain his training and participation in competitions without a sponsor. "Going abroad for tournaments needs a lot of money yet those tournaments are important in terms of his learning and world ranking is concerned, so I am looking for a sponsor for him right now." Vijay recounts Aarit's meteoric rise in Chess "He was five and a half when he started Chess, his elder sister Aarna taught him, after just one week of learning Chess he defeated me! I recognised that he had great potential we started his coaching. "Soon within a few weeks he registered for an online tournament which he won, he played a few online tournaments after that where he won, later he started winning offline tournaments and state level tournaments as well. He was second in the Under 7 nationals and went on to win Silver medal in both classical and rapid categories at the Under 8 Asian championships," he said. A Class V student of Somerville School, Vasundhara Enclave, Aarit idolises Magnus Carlsen, says Vijay. 'He idolises him (Magnus) and was thrilled to face him, though he was not overawed by the situation, he was in a winning position against him but it ended in a draw." Deputy President of Asian Chess Federation Bharat Singh Chauhan was all praise for Aarit, calling him a resolute fighter, "Aarit is tactically very good and the thing that sets him apart is that he is a fighter who thinks about winning irrespective of the situation, his success again proves that we have very good junior players who are capable of beating anyone in the world," UNI RKM SSP

'If you want to field well...': Shubman Gill asked to fix his attitude by former Australian cricketer after fielding woes in Headingley defeat
Former Australian cricketer Brad Haddin has offered valuable advice to India's new Test captain Shubman Gill on how he can help improve the team's fielding and it involves fixing their attitude. read more Brad Haddin believes Shubman Gill can help improve India's fielding by bringing a shift in their attitude. Image: LiSTNR Sport on X/Reuters Former Australian cricketer Brad Haddin has asked Shubman Gill to make an 'attitude adjustment' as the young Indian Test captain looks to leave a mark on the team. Gill has experienced a disastrous start to his Test captaincy career with the Indian cricket team as they lost the first Test against England by five wickets despite being the best side in the match for the majority of the game. Indian batters passed the English challenge at Headingley, Leeds, with flying colours as they scored five centuries in the match, including one by Gill on his Test captaincy debut, but the lack of contributions from the lower order and some pretty ordinary bowling allowed England to escape with a victory. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Haddin says Gill needs to fix attitude to improve fielding Besides poor bowling, the Indian team also suffered due ot the buttery fingers of the fielders as seven catches were dropped by them in the match, including four from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Former Australian wicketkeeper-batter feels Gill and his Indian team need to fix their attitude to improve the fielding standards. He added that great fielding has always been a feature of great teams. 'Every great team, no matter what year you're playing, the one stand out feature they've always had is that they've been a great fielding team. And I think that is one legacy Gill has start to leave now on this team. He needs an attitude adjustment,' Haddin told LiSTNR Sport podcast. 'If you want to field well and compete the whole time, it's only attitude. You can do all your technical work off the field and have as many coaches as anyone, but it won't matter. Even in the IPL this year, the catching was horrible. And that could be a byproduct.'

'Take the young kid [Vaibhav Suryavanshi] from Rajasthan for example. Everyone is talking about how well he batted, and it was unbelievable. But if you're going to be a great player, he's got to work on his fielding, his presence in the game.

Vinod Kambli refused part-time job, took 700 pounds from his father, spent it with friends: 'He never cared about money'
Vinod Kambli, whose deteriorating health left the entire Indian cricket fraternity worried, has been able to get his life back on track after receiving BCCI's aid and having successfully recovered from an infection that got him hospitalised a couple of months ago. It was in December last year that Kambli's appearance at the unveiling of the Ramakant Achrekar memorial sparked health concerns. The former India batter, whose career took a turn for the worse after a promising start in the early 1990s, remained in the news for the next 60-odd days due to health issues. In an interview. Kambli revealed that he had collapsed and was diagnosed with a urinary infection, and just when he seemed to have recovered from it, he was hospitalised again due to a relapse. Vinod Kambli failed to manage his finances(AFP) Thankfully, Kambli has stayed good this year, but his condition always reopens the biggest 'what if' in Indian cricket. One of the biggest missed opportunities in Indian cricket, Kambli remains its biggest mystery. If only he had handled his distractions well, Kambli could have been a legend. But not everything falls as planned. Kambli always had promise; of course, we know it. But did you know, even before Kambli broke into the Indian team, the news of his talent spread to different shores. When his childhood friend Sachin Tendulkar made history by signing on with Yorkshire, Kambli was already in England, playing for a local club, where he made friends. More than 30 years later, those friends are worried about Kambli and wonder what went wrong. "As a South Asian, Sachin joining Yorkshire was big news. I'll tell you what was better, he brought along with him his friend Vinod Kambli, who played in our league. I've never-ever met a person who hits the ball as hard as he used to," Kambli's friend Nasa Hussain told The Indian Express. "He just ran down the track and hits the first ball for six, and you think, 'well okay'. Young man from India, never seen before, never heard of before, and he just comes and smashes it. Subsequently, he went on to score two double-hundreds against England. That was some talent. In today's day and age, that guy would have been a multi-millionaire." Solly Adam, the man responsible for Tendulkar's contract, was like a father figure to Kambli. So when money was tough – Kambli used to earn 25 pounds for a day – the left-handed batter was suggested by his friends that it won't be a bad idea to take up a part-time gig. But Kambli turned it down, exuding confidence in his cricket abilities. After a solid season, Kambli had earned a total of 700 pounds, which was handed over to his father. But handling wealth was never the youngster's cup of tea. When Kambli spent 700 pounds with his friends "One day we were sitting, 10 cricketers. All of them had part-time jobs except for Vinod and Sachin. So a cricketer from Mumbai asked Vinod – 'Since you only earn 25 pound a match, why don't you work at one of Solly's places? Kambli didn't think for a minute, pat came his reply: 'I and Sachin will make money playing Test cricket, I don't want to divert my attention doing part-time jobs.' That was exceptional, what confidence. He was very young, far from being a Test batsman but he had the confidence," Solly told IE. "Vinod, when he returned to India, took all the money from his father and spent it with his friends … Vinod never cared about money, nor did he have any respect for commodities," Solly had written in his book.
