Ishan Kishan's Wankhede comeback trolled after his early exit

Not the return Ishan Kishan was hoping for when he came back to Wankhede Stadium. This time, however, he wasn't playing as a Mumbai Indians (MI) batter, but as an opponent with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Many expected Ishan Kishan to get his revenge on MI for releasing him and choosing not to retain him this Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.

However, his return was short-lived, as he fell for a single-digit score once again. The former MI player failed to haunt his old team, departing for just 2 runs off 3 balls and quickly becoming the focal point of online trolls.

Ishan Kishan departs for a single-digit again

The batter's horror run since that century continues, as he falls for yet another single-digit score. It was a brilliantly bowled delivery by Will Jacks — who spotted Kishan shimmy down the pitch. Jacks tossed it wider outside off, got the ball to turn, and completely beat Kishan's attempted drive. Wicketkeeper Ryan Rickelton made no mistake as he completed a neat stumping.

Fans troll Ishan Kishan

After disappointing many fans, netizens took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to troll the batter. Some even claimed that the MI management made the right decision by not retaining him this season.

One said, "Bro failed in revenge…!!! Ishan Kishan out for 2 from 3 balls."

Another posted, "Ishan Kishan was released by MI — this was a perfect chance for him to take revenge. Just silly dismissals from him. He was MI’s second-highest scorer, and now for Sunrisers, there’s no intensity at all. What’s he up to?"
