Early Life and Education
Ishan Kishan was born on July 18, 1998, in Bodh Gaya, Bihar, and is now 25. He grew up in Patna after his family relocated there, which allowed him to pursue cricket seriously.
His father, Pranav Kumar Pandey, is a builder, while his elder brother, Raj Kishan, was also a state-level cricketer.
Raj played a significant role in guiding Ishan’s early cricket journey. Despite being a naughty child, Kishan’s talent in cricket was evident from a young age.
He attended Delhi Public School (DPS) in Patna and later studied at the College of Commerce, Patna. Due to registration issues between the Bihar Cricket Association and the BCCI, Kishan had to play for Jharkhand in domestic cricket, a move that shaped his early cricketing career. His ethnicity is rooted in the Bhumihar Brahmin community, and he follows the Hindu religion.

Although Ishan Kishan keeps his personal life relatively private, it has been widely speculated that he is in a relationship with model Aditi Hundia.

In 2016, Kishan captained the Indian U-19 team in the ICC U-19 World Cup, further highlighting his potential.
Kishan’s IPL career began in 2016 when Gujarat Lions picked him, but it was his stint with Mumbai Indians starting in 2018 that truly showcased his abilities.
In the 2020 season, he amassed 516 runs and was instrumental in helping MI win the title. The following year, Mumbai Indians bought him for ₹15.25 crore, making him one of the most expensive players in IPL history.
On the international stage, Kishan made his T20I debut in March 2021 against England, scoring 56 runs in his first match.
He followed that with an impressive ODI debut against Sri Lanka later that year, scoring 59 runs. In December 2022, Kishan made headlines by scoring 210 runs off 131 balls against Bangladesh, becoming the youngest and fastest player to score a double century in ODIs.

Controversy
Ishan Kishan has been central to a few controversies over the years. In 2016, he was involved in a car accident in Patna.
Reports suggest that he or his father, while driving, hit an auto-rickshaw, injuring a woman. Following the accident, an altercation broke out between Kishan, his father, and some locals, which led to both being roughed up by the crowd. Although police arrived on the scene, the matter was settled amicably, and no FIR was lodged.
Another notable controversy occurred in 2023 when Kishan declined to participate in the Duleep Trophy, a critical domestic tournament, despite being selected.
His decision surprised many, and although the reasons were not made public, it caused friction with some selectors who expected him to represent the East Zone.
Kishan also faced criticism in the 2023 Asia Cup when he was involved in a debatable incident of “obstructing the field” during a match against Sri Lanka.
Although the Sri Lankan team did not appeal, fans were divided over whether Kishan should have been penalized.
