Team India on Friday started their WTC 2023-24 cycle with a bang after Rohit Sharma & Co defeated West Indies by an innings and 141 runs in Windsor Park, Roseau, Dominica. Courtesy of Yashasvi Jaiswal's dream debut and Ravichandran Ashwin's fiery spell, West Indies were bundled at a mere score of 130 runs in their own den. India vs West Indies 1st Test aw two debutants from the visiting side- Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan. Ishan Kishan who was in the team for the WTC final as well, finally got a chance against West Indies in the absence of Rishabh Pant. Apart from Ashwin and Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan has been trending on social media for both good and bad reasons. While a section of the media is appreciating Ishan Kishan for lifting the morale of the team in the Test match by chirping behind the stumps, a section of the media is in splits over his multiple viral videos. Among the many clips, one video which has caught everyone's attention is when Ishan Kishan was caught abusing while he was wicket-keeping in the final moment of the match.
In the viral video, Ishan Kishan was seen displeased with Jomel Warrican's stance after blocking the delivery of Ravichandran Ashwin. After defending the ball, Jomel Warrican was holding his position in front of the bowler making it difficult for the bowler to see what is happening in the front. Ishan Kishan who was wicket-keeping did not like this and used an abusive word in Hindi.

Before this, Team India skipper Rohit Sharma nearly lost his cool over Ishan Kishan as the debutant required 20 balls to score his first runs before the skipper decided he had seen enough and he declared the first innings immediately after Kishan got off the mark. Ishan Kishan who is known for his aggressive batting took a while to settle down on his first Test outing but it seems that Rohit had other plans as the Indian captain was seen making his frustrations visibly clear. Following this event, Rohit Sharma also opened up and said, "I was just letting them know we have an over or so before declaring. I wanted Ishan to get off the mark, wanted to tell him to get his personal mark and then we had to declare. I could see that he was always eager to bat, it could be frustrating for them."
