NDTV
A fan asked Ishan Kishan to sign at the back of his phone. As Kishan was about to sign, he realised that there was an autograph of MS Dhoni on the back of that phone.
Ishan Kishan literally stumped the cricket world during the third ODI against Bangladesh in Chattogram on December 10, when he scored 210 off just 131 balls, hitting 24 fours and 10 sixes. He was involved in a 290-run partnership with Virat Kohli, who also scored his 72nd international ton, for the second wicket as India posted a total of 409/9 in 50 overs after being put into bat. India ultimately won by 227 runs. Kishan reached the double ton mark in just 126 balls - which is a world record. The 24-year-old also became the fourth Indian batter to score a double-hundred in ODIs.
Wicketkeeper-batter Kishan continued his imperious run as he smashed a century for Jharkhand against Kerala in their Ranji Trophy Group C match in Ranchi on December 15. Kishan impressed everybody and was the fans' delight. One fan named Randhir Kumar, asked him to sign at the back of his phone. As Kishan was about to sign, he realised that there was an autograph of MS Dhoni, who also hails from Jharkhand, on the back of that phone.
"There is Mahi Bhai's signature and he is asking me to sign above it. I will not be able to do it. Why do you want me to sign here? I will sign on some other thing," he told the fan. Upon further insistence, Kishan said: "It is Mahi bhai's signature, how can I sign above that? We have not reached that stage." Ultimately, Kishan signed below Dhoni's autograph.
After his double ton against Bangladesh, Ishan was asked whether the knock would automatically earn him a spot in India's ODI team for the forthcoming assignments. The southpaw gave a cheeky response as the entire press room broke into laughter.
