IPL: Ranking top 10 players tattoos
Tattoos have a rich history and have been used for centuries to tell stories, convey beliefs, and showcase artistry.
8. Ishan Kishan {7/10}
The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter made his IPL debut in 2016 with the now-defunct Gujarat Lions in 2016. He was picked by Mumbai Indians in 2018 for INR 6.2 crore, and he finished as the leading run-scorer for the team in 2020 with 516 runs in 14 games.
In 2022, MI shelled out INR 15.25 crore for him, and he became the second-most expensive Indian player at the auction table. Ishan Kishan has scored over 2000 runs in 80 IPL games at an average of 29.55 and a strike rate of 133.36.
Kishan has a total of five tattoos on his body, each with its own significance. He has a tattoo on his left forearm of a 'Sculpture Portrait' inspired by the Roman culture, which was done by tattoo artist Sunny Bhanushali.
On his chest, he has a tattoo with the words 'Trust Your Struggle,' which is an inspiration for him. In 2015, he got a portrait tattoo of Sai Baba. On his right arm, there is a tattoo with the word 'Believe,' and he also has a tattoo of roses on his right forearm, right below the tattoo of Sai Baba.
In 2023, Kishan has scored 169 runs for MI in five games at an average of 33.8 and a strike rate of 145.68. Kishan made his international cricket debut in 2021 and has played 14 ODIs and 27 T20Is for the Indian team. On December 10, 2022, Kishan scored his maiden ODI century and converted the same into a double-century. He took 126 deliveries to reach the 200-run mark and became the fastest to achieve this feat.
