Watch: Rohit Sharma Demands This 'Gift' From Birthday Boy Ishan Kishan

India's wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan turned 25 years old on July 18, 2023. As the Indian cricket team prepares for the second Test in West Indies, skipper Rohit Sharma was asked what birthday gift he would be giviing to Kishan in the middle of a press confrence. Rohit, as notorious as he his, first asked Ishan about what gift he wanted before saying he has everything. The skipper then went on to ask for a gift from the young star instead.

As Rohit asked "kya birthday gift chahiye bhai tereko (what birthday gift do you want buddy)?", Ishan only laughed. The skipper then said: "Sab to hai bhai (he has everything)".

Then, Rohit said that Ishan should instead give the team a gift by scoring a century in the second Test against West Indies. "Birthday gift tu hamko de bhai, 100 run kar ke (You should give us a birthday gift by scoring a hundred)," Rohit said. 

Here's the video:

Ishan has been brought into the team as a like-for-like replacement for Rishabh Pant who continues to work towards regaining full fitness after last year's car crash. While KS Bharat also remains a part of the Indian squad in Tests, Ishan's explosive nature of batting currently sees him getting the edge over Bharat.

The wicket-keeper batter would hope to to spend a decent time in the middle to show how productive he can be with the bat for the Indian team. As a wicket-keeper, Ishan still has some work to do.

As for the series, India would look to complete a clean sweep over West Indies by winning the second Test, having beaten the hosts comprehensively in the first match.

Opting to bowl, Gujarat produced a clinical effort with young spinner Priya Mishra returning impressive figures of 4-0-25-3.

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
