New Delhi: On Sunday, January 22, in the Division One Championship match, Indian star Ishan Kishan had a beautiful County Cricket debut they scored a brilliant 87-run inning off 98 balls against Yorkshire in the championship encounter.
Ishan got lifeline
Ishan, who received a lifeline at midwicket off Jack White early into the day not having added to his previous night score of 44, one of many fielding errors after Ben Slater was dropped on 11 on Day 1) compiled an eventually 87 off 98 deliveries before being finally dismissed at the same position by Dom Bess.
Ishan made an impressive start to his two-game spell at Trent Bridge hitting 12 fours and a straight six off George Hill.

Impact with wicketkeeping
Behind the stumps, Ishan also took center stage on his debut as he dismissed Adam Lyth on a golden duck caught behind off Pakistan pacer Mohammad Abbas and stumped Dom Bess subsequently.
Ishan will play again when the Nottinghamshire team take on Somerset beginning Sunday, June 29.
Despite the fact that he is primarily known as a limited overs cricketer, Ishan boasts of a prolific red-ball record as he has amassed 3,534 runs in just 59 first-class games with eight centuries and 18 fifties to his credit.
'I'm feeling very excited to get my first taste of playing county cricket in England, and it will be a great chance to showcase my skills. I want to make sure I am the best cricketer I can be and playing in English conditions will help me to learn new skills,' Ishan said after being roped in by Nottinghamshire.
'Trent Bridge is such a famous ground that is well-known in India and around the world and I am excited that I will be playing there,' Ishan added.
Ishan will be the fourth Indian cricketer in County Championship, after Tilak Varma found a temporary home at Hampshire and Ruturaj Gaikwad will be joining Yorkshire until the second half of the summer.
Tilak Varma scores century on County debut
Tilak Varma scored a century in his first game in County Cricket facing Essex. To commence a four-game spell on the south coast, he was a dazzler in only his 19th first-class outing far fewer than his 119 T20 matches including the 25 he has played in international colors.
Tilak showed great discipline throughout his 234-ball innings as he anchored Hampshire in the gradual response to Essex scoring 296 in the first innings.
