Ishan Kishan’s Fearless Batting: Why Tom Moody’s Praise Hits the Mark

The Bravest Batting in T20? Kishan's Name Keeps Popping Up

You know that one player in your gully cricket team who swings at the first ball, no matter the match situation? That’s Ishan Kishan in the IPL and international T20s—except way more skilled and a whole lot braver.

Recently, Tom Moody, the former Aussie cricketer and now a respected cricket analyst, called out Kishan’s “continued braveness to take the game on.” And honestly? He’s spot on.

Here’s the Thing: Bravery in Cricket Isn’t Just About Big Shots

It's not about hitting sixes every ball. It’s about showing up with the same intent even after getting out cheaply the previous match. And Kishan does that. He walks out like the score is always 0–0. No fear. No baggage. Just intent.

Take the last few IPL matches. Even when his strike rate was under the microscope and fans were starting to murmur, he didn’t shift gears. He stuck to his natural game—charging down the pitch, going after the pacers, and putting pressure back on the bowlers.

That’s not recklessness. That’s confidence. And in T20s, that’s gold.

Why Moody’s Praise Matters

When someone like Tom Moody—a coach, commentator, and a keen reader of cricketing temperament—says Kishan’s mindset stands out, it means something. Moody isn’t just looking at the scoreboard. He’s looking at impact.

In T20s, an 18-ball 30 can change the entire tempo. Kishan understands that. He’s not playing for milestones. He’s playing for momentum.
