ODI World Cup: The legendary fast bowler from Australia, Brett Lee, has endorsed Indian batsman Ishan Kishan to start for the team in the ODI World Cup in 2023. Ishan most recently grabbed attention with his stunning double hundred against Bangladesh in the third and final ODI (210 off just 131 balls).
In addition, he joined Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, and Virender Sehwag in the elite group of Indian cricketers to have scored a double hundred. Many supporters and members of the cricketing community, including Australia great Brett Lee, think the southpaw should be included in the team for the upcoming ODI World Cup.
Ishan has made a strong case to start for India in the ODI World Cup at home in 2023 with this lethal double. Will this occur? I’m not sure. Should it occur? Absolutely, it should. He just scored the quickest 200 in an ODI. But he should be a lock to open for India at the World Cup if he can demonstrate consistency, maintain fitness, and stick around over the next three months,” stated Lee on his YouTube channel.
A head full of cobwebs from too much praise: Brett Lee
Additionally, the former pace spearhead cautioned about the youthful sensation and emphasised that consistency would be crucial. “With an eye on the future, back Ishan to make it into the World Cup squad. He would definitely be on a high after that knock as he should be. But first, a word of warning. Too much praise had created mental cobwebs,” Lee said.
“Therefore, forget about the milestone and forget about the double hundred as quickly as you can, would be my counsel to Ishan Kishan. There are greater benchmarks to hit and greater heights to climb. Ishan Kishan needs to put his double-hundred thrill behind him. Just concentrate on the process, maintain your fitness, and keep scoring huge runs,” Lee advised.
