Ishan has scored 736 runs in 10 matches including one century and five half-centuries in the first-class cricket.

The 17-year-old left-handed batsman made his debut in the Ranji Trophy against Assam in December 2014 while playing from Jharkhand. Ishan is also a part of team Gujarat Lions for the upcoming IPL 2016.
