Kishan's last international appearance came in November last year against Australia at home in a T20I, in which he scored a duck. After his last international appearance, Kishan made his return to competitive cricket in the 18th DY Patil T20 Cup 2024 against Route Mobile Limited, playing for the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The tournament was held from February-March this year.
On his return, Kishan played a part in one dismissal as he stumped Sumit Dhekale off Sayan Mondal at the DY Patil University Ground. With the bat, he entertained for a bit as he made 19 off 12 balls, including two boundaries and a six. Fans went crazy after Kishan's century, checkout the reactions here...
