This is the Big Reason

There could be some reasons behind giving a chance to Ishaan Kishan. Actually, there is not a single left-handed batsman in the top order of the Indian team. Captain Rohit Sharma, veteran Virat Kohli, opener KL Rahul and veteran Cheteshwar Pujara are all right-handed batsmen. Therefore, to make up for the lack of left-handed batsman, captain Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid can give Ishan Kishan a chance to play the match. If Ishaan gets a chance, he will play in the top order only. KS Bharat could not capitalize on the opportunity he got in Nagpur while Ishaan is in excellent rhythm. He has played 13 ODIs and 27 T20 International matches so far. He has added 507 runs in ODIs which includes a double century. At the same time, in the T20 International format, he has scored 653 runs with the help of 4 half-centuries.
