Ishan Kishan: Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan, who is playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2025 season after representing Mumbai Indians for seven years, is mesmerised with his experience with the orange army. The southpaw revealed that the calmness in the side was beyond his expectations.

Kishan was acquired by the franchise for Rs 11.25 crore in last year's mega auction in Jeddah. The batter was quick to repay the faith put in by the franchise as he scored his maiden IPL century in their tournament opener against Rajasthan Royals. He played a knock of unbeaten 106 in 47 balls studded with six sixes and 11 fours as SRH posted the second-highest total of the tournament - 286/6, one short of their previous best.

"When I got here, I got those goosebumps suddenly looking at everything orange here in Hyderabad, because I was with Mumbai Indians for the last seven years. But this is a very new experience. Looking forward to it. And at the same time, looking at how Sunrisers Hyderabad is playing right now and the atmosphere I saw in the team is totally different from what I expected. There is a lot of calmness. There is a lot of clarity among everyone. Everyone is very helpful here. So I'm loving it till now," Kishan said on JioHotstar’s special show ‘Gen Bold’.
