Even biggest of players can struggle: Ishan Kishan on his below-par IPL 2022 season

Ishan Kishan has failed to live up to the most expensive player tag in this IPL but the Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper batter is not unduly worried about his form, saying even the best of cricketers "struggle" at some point. The 23-year-old was bought by MI for a whopping Rs 15.25 crore at the IPL auction earlier this year. He scored 370 runs from 13 matches at an average of 30.83, with the help of three half-centuries. He is, though, MI's second-highest run-getter in this IPL, a fact which showed the woeful form of most batters of the side. MI were out of the play-offs reckoning long time back after losing eight matches on the trot. "Even the biggest of players (can struggle), I have seen the likes of Chris Gayle taking time (to start hitting)," Kishan said at the post-match conference after MI lost by three runs to Sunrisers Hyderabad on Tuesday night.
