Ishan Kishan's Father on T20 WC Selection: 'Out of Syllabus' Dream Come True

• Ishan Kishan's father, Pranav Pandey, describes his son's T20 World Cup selection as 'out of syllabus,' an unexpected but welcome surprise.
• The family never anticipated a World Cup berth, expecting a comeback in bilateral series due to Ishan's strong domestic performances.
• Ishan faced a challenging period in 2023, losing his BCCI contract and being labeled 'undisciplined' after requesting a break for mental fatigue.
• He found guidance in the Bhagavad Gita, which now travels with him, helping him focus on effort rather than results.
• Ishan's stellar performance in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scoring 517 runs with a strike rate of 197.32, led to his T20 World Cup selection.
