Ishan Kishan nearly pulled off a one-sided match which was totally in Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) favor.

The decision to rope in Kishan in the third match proved to be a masterstroke.

Mumbai Indians (MI), who had lost all hopes when Suryakumar Yadav got out without scoring any runs, saw a turn of tables when Ishan batted on the crease.

The youngster's massive hitting from the start, created some pressure on RCB, which was not bothering them until then.

Kishan gave his finest innings and struck 99 runs off just 58 balls, which included nine massive sixes and two sweeping fours.

With his 119-run stand with Pollard, he took his team from the jaws of defeat to within an inch of victory.

While playing a lofted shot, Kishan was caught, as he fell a run short of a century, which led to RCB’s win in the Super Over.

However, legends and veterans have heaped praises for the star batsman, for his impeccable innings.

Meanwhile, the social media caught all-the buzz when Ishan’s girlfriend, Aditi Hundia, who is a fashion model, posted a story on her Instagram account.

She posted the picture when Ishan was returning to the MI dugout after his wicket, captioned, ‘I am so proud of you baby’.

The wicketkeeper-batsman, who did not have a good IPL season last year, is making amends for the same. He is all set to warm the MI bench with his performance in the upcoming matches.
