Ishan got embroiled in controversy in 2016, news of his arrest spread
Ishan Kishan was the captain of India’s Under-19 cricket captain in 2016. The 17-year-old wicketkeeper batsman was appointed captain for the upcoming ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh.
The same year, he found himself embroiled in a controversy after a car, in which he was travelling, hit an autorickshaw.
Reports also said that he was arrested for speeding up his car and hitting an autorickshaw on the way in Kankarbagh region of Patna. The reports also claimed that Kishan and his father Pranab Pandey were ‘manhandled’ after the incident.
However, later the Patna police denied arresting the young cricketer and said the matter was amicably settled between the two parties.
Police informed that it was actually Kishan’s father Pandey who was driving the car when it hit the auto-rickshaw that turned turtle and a woman sustained minor injury.
Bihar Cricket Association joint secretary Neeraj Singh said there was nothing to worry and the cricketer has already resumed training.
