Ishan Kishan creates history, becomes India's highest T20I run-scorer in a calendar year

Ishan Kishan reached a significant milestone during the final T20I against New Zealand at Seddon Park, surpassing Suryakumar Yadav to become India's highest run-scorer in the format within a single calendar year. Needing only six runs to break the record, Kishan achieved the feat early in his innings.

Despite losing opening partners Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson early, Kishan and Shreyas Iyer stabilized the Indian effort to reach 50/2 by the end of the powerplay. This achievement marks a notable turnaround for the wicketkeeper-batter, who had struggled with a groin injury earlier in the series.
