Watch the emotional reaction of Ishan Kishan’s mother after his T20 World Cup 2026 selection. Learn about his journey from being dropped to making a historic comeback.
Following Ishan Kishan’s inclusion in India’s 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2026, a heart-wrenching video of his mother, Suchitra Singh, has gone viral. After being out of the national side for over two years, Kishan earned his recall through a stellar performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), where he led Jharkhand to their maiden title as the tournament’s highest run-getter.
In an emotional interview, his mother revealed she was performing a puja when she heard the news. “I was just worshipping God, and tears came to my eyes,” she shared, breaking down on camera. She expressed that God had finally rewarded her son’s relentless hard work and the struggles he endured during his time away from the team. This selection marks a massive comeback for the wicketkeeper-batter, who was dropped from the BCCI central contracts in 2024 but fought his way back through domestic excellence.
