Ishan Kishan Gets Fiery Send-Off from Own Teammate During SRH Intra-Squad Game During an intra-squad match ahead of the IPL 2026 season, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s interim captain Ishan Kishan faced a fiery send-off from teammate Zeeshan Ansari, sparking speculation about team dynamics within the camp. The incident occurred during the eighth over of the SRH B innings, where Kishan and Liam Livingstone were in full flow. Kishan aggressively scored 20 runs off Ansari before the spinner dismissed the interim captain, leading to a heated exchange. Ansari, visibly upset, delivered a strong send-off to Kishan, a moment that drew muted reactions from the team but highlighted tensions during the practice match. The event took place on Saturday, March 21, as the team prepared for the IPL 2026 campaign. While the send-off was a dramatic moment, it appears to have been a product of the game’s intensity rather than a deeper rift within the squad. Social media speculation about internal conflicts was quickly dismissed, with the incident attributed to the competitive spirit of the intra-squad game. Kishan, who has been named interim captain for the first few matches, remains a key figure for SRH as the team aims to build momentum ahead of the tournament. Despite the fiery send-off, Kishan’s performance in the match was notable. He showcased his batting prowess, scoring 72 runs off 24 balls before being dismissed by Ansari. His contributions, along with Abhishek Sharma’s impressive 94 off 24 balls, signaled optimism for SRH’s opening clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on March 28 in Bengaluru. Both players’ form, particularly Abhishek’s resurgence after a challenging T20 World Cup, has bolstered expectations for the team’s campaign.#liam_livingstone #ishan_kishan #ipl_2026 #srh #zeeshan_ansari
