Ishan Kishan loved playing cricket since his early days. His brother, Raj Kishan, currently a doctor, was also a former state-level cricketer. He and his brother would travel to different parts of the city to play different tournaments.
Coming from a supportive family, Ishan never had to convince his parents to take up cricket as his profession. Both Raj and Suchitra, in fact, always dreamt of seeing their kids play cricket at the highest level. While Ishan did pursue the game and represented the Indian under-19 team, his brother gave up his dream in between and changed his profession.
Ishan did his schooling from Delhi Public School in Patna. Apparently, the under-19 skipper hates studying. He would often bunk class to play football or cricket in his school days.

Ahead of the 2018 IPL, Mumbai Indians snapped the Patna lad for a whopping amount of 5.5 crores. He became an integral member of the squad, playing as many as 14 matches that season. He amassed 275 runs at an average of 22.91. His strike rate of 149.45 meant he was retained for the next season as well. However, with the coming of Yuvraj Singh in the side, it was tough to accommodate Kishan in all the games.
