NEW DELHI: Ishan Kishan was just five when his father, Pranav Kumar Pandey, introduced him to coach Uttam Mazumdar at the Moin-ul-haq stadium in Patna.
Mazumdar, just like he used to do with other students, asked Ishan to go to the nets and face a couple of deliveries. Watching a young Ishan batting with confidence, coach Mazumdar decided to take him under his wing.
Now, after almost sixteen years, Mazumdar was heard cheering come on Ishan while sitting in front of his television set at his residence, watching his student playing for the country and smashing the England bowling attack with ease.
