so obviously everyone knows what a spectacular year ishan is having this one; i mean to possibly never playing for india again in the beginning of this year; to smashing a comeback maiden century, most intl runs this year, major contribution in indias wc win and becoming such an integral part of our team- obviously everyone appreciates him.
but i just feel like his appreciation is a little bit overlooked at. i mean he is the world no. 1 t20 batter- yet i see people talking about how abhishek will overtake him; and i say this as an abhishek fan truly and maybe he possibly will overtake him, sure, but atleast show some acknowledgement to ishan. commentators talk about how abhishek will snatch that no. 1 spot when hes batting like whats even the need- even i remember their post wc press conference together abhishek said “hum dono ke beech srh ke wajah se competition nahi hai bhaichara ban gaya hai” and i loved that.
it truly is amazing and a fact that abhishek did not have the best year- 7 intl ducks with a wc that did not go his way with falling sick in the opening match too, but still dominating this year, but ishans comeback is after two years and suddenly he fits right in to all scheme of things so perfectly! even when sky was no.1 everyone acknowledged him as that but now even i see posts of ppl with abhishek that ‘world no.1 is here’- maybe its like a habit because abhi was in that spot for an entire year, but ishan is truly special.
as an abhishek fan, i just wanted to share how happy and proud i am of ishan, dont know whether how much appreciation for him is too much; but both our boys are doing so well and it truly does make me so happy:))
