Ishan Kishan’s Bold Leap: From Blue to Orange, and Loving Every Bit of It
You know, sometimes in life, you just need a big shift to rediscover your spark. That’s exactly what seems to have happened with Ishan Kishan, who has made headlines not just for switching IPL teams but for how passionately he’s embracing it. After spending seven years with the Mumbai Indians, where he lifted two IPL trophies and grew into a solid presence at the top, Ishan has now made a massive move to Sunrisers Hyderabad—and honestly, he sounds like a kid on the first day of school, in the best way possible.

He recently opened up in a candid chat on JioHotstar’s Gen Bold , saying, "I got goosebumps suddenly looking at everything orange." That statement alone paints the picture—he’s feeling the shift in energy, in color, and in culture. It’s his first time wearing the Orange jersey, and you can tell he’s soaking it all in. The calmness in the SRH camp, the clarity of roles, the helpful atmosphere—it’s a whole different vibe compared to his MI days, and he’s absolutely loving it.
Ishan also pointed out some of his favorite teammates at SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Abhinav Manohar, and Zeeshan Ansari—young guns who bring their own fire to the field. But what’s truly admirable is his alignment with the team’s mindset. He described SRH as a “bold team,” and he's clearly proud to be part of it. According to him, fearless cricket isn’t just swinging the bat hard—it’s about having a captain like Pat Cummins who instills that mindset from the top. That belief trickles down, giving the team the confidence to go out there and just be themselves.
It’s also worth noting how he’s turned a tough chapter in his career into motivation. After being dropped from the BCCI contract list due to some controversial decisions—like skipping domestic cricket—he’s now focused on the present. He was released by MI, then picked up by SRH for a whopping ₹11.25 crore in the auction. That faith is already paying off; Ishan smashed a century in his debut match for the franchise and continues to shine with a strike rate north of 170.
He’s not just chasing form—he’s chasing fire. Whether it’s talking about biryani being his go-to comfort food, or picking Virat Kohli as his current favorite cricketer, Ishan’s energy feels real and grounded. This is someone who’s gone through a bit of a storm but has come out more focused, more excited, and more driven than ever.
