Ishan Kishan's Horror Run Continues, Departs For Four-Ball Duck Against Gujarat Titans

Ishan Kishan's horrible run of form continued as he was dismissed for a four-ball duck during Mumbai Indians' IPL 2024 match against Gujarat Titans on Sunday. Kishan, who was snubbed from the BCCI central contracts list, has struggled to score runs in the past few matches and once again, he was not able to score big.

Young left-hander B Sai Sudharsan top-scored with a 45 off 39 balls, while Rahul Tewatia made 22 off 15 balls down the order.

But the evening, without an iota of doubt, belonged to Bumrah, who missed the whole of last edition due to a lower back stress fracture.

He dismissed David Miller and Sudharsan in the 17th over in a space of three deliveries in what could be a potential game-changer.

Up against Gill, Pandya erred in line and the stylish batter used his wrists to whip him off his pads for a four, as the MI captain conceded 11 runs after his surprise move to start the proceedings at the expense
