Mumbai, March 27 : Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan on Sunday said that Mumbai Indians (MI) management will be the happiest after Ishan Kishan’s unbeaten fifty as they made a huge bid on him in the auction. “The owners came up with a plan to splurge money on him. And what happened after that? Ishan did what they wanted. He not just started things off brilliantly, but also finished for them. It was a mature knock from Ishan,” he said on Cricket Live, a Star Sports Show. Ishan, who was bought for a whopping Rs 15.25 crore, slammed an unbeaten 81 against Delhi Capitals (DC) in his team’s opening game. India’s spin great Harbhajan Singh also heaped praise on Ishan. The Turbanator said he is a fan of the MI opener. “Ishan has come out as a mature player. When Rohit Sharma was out, he took the batting upon himself and decided that he would play till the end. With this knock, he has proven how capable he is as a batter,” Harbhajan said. “I am a fan of this guy. Once I bowled to this guy in a match and he hit two or four sixes against me. Watching him bat like that I was clear that he’s going to be an amazing player and now I sit back and enjoy his batting whenever he walks into the middle,” he added. BDN SHK2045
