CRICKET
Ishan Kishan delivered a fan's note to Shardul Thakur after the local boy was surrounded by fans for photos and autographs.
Ishan Kishan was the toast of India's second ODI victory over South Africa, which took place in his hometown of Ranchi on Sunday. The Men in Blue tied the series 1-1 with a 7-wicket victory on a tricky track, chasing 279 to win.
South Africa batted first after stand-in skipper Keshav Maharaj won the toss, posting 278/7 in 50 overs, with top scores Reeza Hendricks (74) and Aiden Markram (79), while Mohammed Siraj took 3/38 for India.
In response, Ishan Kishan lit up the Ranchi stadium with seven sixes and four fours in his 93-run knock, while Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten on 113 to help India win with 25 balls to spare and seven wickets in hand.
Ishan Kishan engaged with the local crowd after the game, signing autographs and taking selfies with supporters. He also had a special note from a fan for all-rounder Shardul Thakur.
In a video posted by the BCCI, Ishan can be seen interacting with the local fans in Ranchi, and narrating how he got the note to be delivered to Shardul.

Shardul Thakur 54 and there is a heart, so good. The way the fan requested to me that please give this note to Shardul, I said okay give it to me I will deliver it),” Ishan can be heard saying.
