Watch: Ishan Kishan's stunning 'got bowled twice in the nets' confession to Gill after smashing record double century

After the knock, Gill, who is now gearing up for the Test series, turned anchor to interview Ishan, which turned out to be a hilarious conversation with the later revealing that he was bowled twice in the nets before his double century.

Shubman Gill was the preferred third-choice opener for India in ODIs. But the youngster was rested for the Bangladesh series where Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan were the first choice. But Ishan Kishan was presented with an opportunity in the final game after Rohit had injured his finger and the youngster made the most of it to scored a record double ton against Bangladesh on Saturday. After the knock, Gill, who is now gearing up for the Test series, turned anchor to interview Ishan, which turned out to be a hilarious conversation with the later revealing that he was bowled twice in the nets before his double century.

Shubman Gill with Ishan Kishan

Ishan on Saturday became the fourth Indian batter to score a double ton in ODIs after Rohit, Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar, and also shattered Chris Gayle's world record feat of being the fastest batter to 200 in an innings, scoring in just 126 balls, 12 balls less than what the Windies legend had required seven years back against Zimbabwe.

Speaking to Gill on BCCI.tv, Ishan was asked why he had skipped the net session on Friday before the former said that the 23-year-old only came to nets the next morning when he was made aware that he would be replacing Rohit in the XI.

Gill: We had a practice session yesterday as well, why didn't you come?

Ishan: I never leave out on a practice session. I am always present.

Gill: But you didn't come yesterday

Ishan: I was there, probably you didn't see me.

Gill: I was there yesterday, but you were not there. But when you got to know that you were in the playing XI in the morning, that is when you came for the practice session.

Ishan: I got bowled twice in nets.

BCCI shared a video of the conversation on Twitter with the caption, “On emotions of joining the legendary @sachin_rt, @virendersehwag & @ImRo45 to @imVkohli's advice. Double Ton-up & man of the moment - @ishankishan51 - discusses it all with @ShubmanGill."

"The wickets were not good in the nets at the previous venue so I thought of batting today in the nets here this morning. The other players had also batted a lot in the nets and batting here was helpful. Surya bhai did the same thing in the World Cup and he did really well there. I did it and I got 200 as well," Ishan explained why he opted for the net session on the morning of the third ODI.
