A photo of Indian cricketer Ishan Kishan is rapidly going viral on social media, capturing the attention of fans. In the photo, Ishan is seen wearing formal clothes instead of his cricket jersey, and wearing an ID card around his neck, the lanyard of which reads “Reserve Bank of India” (RBI) in Hindi and English. It is being claimed that this photo is from the RBI office in Patna, where a fan clicked this selfie with him.
Fans are delighted to see this 28-year-old star cricketer in this mood during his break from his busy international cricket schedule. Like many athletes in India, Ishan Kishan is also associated with a government institution. While the exact details of his position at the Patna RBI office are not public, his appearance shows that he is juggling his other responsibilities with his game.
Responsibility in RBI along with cricket
Born on July 18, 1998, in Patna, Ishan Kishan has been a vital part of the Indian team since his international debut in March 2021. He recently played for the Indian team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, where he impressed everyone with his performance. Furthermore, in IPL 2026, he played for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and captained them for the first half of the tournament.
Ishan played his last ODI on June 17, 2026, and his last T20 International on July 9, 2026. Currently, due to his break from international matches, he is making full use of his free time.
Ishan’s association with the RBI isn’t new. Previously, he represented the RBI team in the 18th DY Patil T20 Cup held in Navi Mumbai in February 2024. This demonstrates his long-standing association with the organization.
