Cricket has a mystical quality. One never knows what's round the corner in success or failure.

Mumbai Indians have found their talisman in Ishan Kishan. Not in the team at first, he crawls into the middle-order and then, an injury to their captain Rohit Sharma causes his elevation to the opener's slot. He is the man who is making his presence felt as a match-winner at the top of the order. To credit him with a positive, fearless approach would be an understatement. Kishan has shown in a matter of weeks the transition from a side artist to a protagonist in the team composition of a robust Mumbai Indians unit.
