3 players who can replace out-of-form Ishan Kishan

2. Dhruv Jurel

Dhruv Jurel batted brilliant during IPL 2026 at No. 3. He can be a like-for-like replacement for Kishan going forward. The good thing about Jurel is that he isn't one-dimensional. He has already shown in Test cricket that he can grind it out with his proper technique.

Jurel scored 515 runs in 16 matches during IPL 2026 at an average of 36.79 and a strike rate of 154.65. The next T20 World Cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand, where the pitches will be hard and batters who play well on the back foot can find success. Jurel is one such player who can ride the bounce and score a lot of runs.
