Ishan Kishan makes ODI debut on 23rd birthday against Sri Lanka; India cricketer dating model Aditi Hundia?

New Delhi, July 18: Young India cricketer Ishan Kishan is celebrating his 23rd birthday on Sunday (July 18) and the wicketkeeper-batsman couldn't have got a better gift as he received his ODI debut cap.

Kishan - who plays for Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League (IPL) - was handed the ODI debut cap in the first one-day international against Sri Lanka along with his fellow IPL teammate Suryakumar Yadav.

Interestingly, both Yadav and Kishan made their T20I debuts together, earlier this year during the T20I series against England at home. India lock horns with Sri Lanka in the first of three ODI series in Colombo.

Kishan, therefore, became only the second Indian cricketer to make his ODI debut. The first Indian cricketer was Gursharan Singh, who made his ODI debut at the age of 27 against Australia in Hamilton in 1990. Interestingly, it was Singh's only ODI match.

Kishan has made quite a reputation for himself at the domestic level and slammed a sensational fifty on his T20I debut against a quality England side.

When Aditi addressed Ishan as 'baby'

During Kishan's quickfire knock in the IPL against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Hundia posted an image of the cricketer's image on her Instagram story and addressed him as 'baby', showing her love for the pint-size dynamite.
