Patna: Indian wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has reportedly resumed his official duties as an Assistant Manager at the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) office in Patna during his break from competitive cricket.
Kishan, who was appointed to the post under the sports quota, was seen carrying out his responsibilities at the RBI office while taking time away from domestic and international cricket.
Balancing cricket and public service
The 28-year-old cricketer has been associated with the Reserve Bank of India since receiving the appointment through the sports quota, a provision that enables outstanding athletes to pursue government careers while continuing their sporting commitments.
Reports suggest Kishan has temporarily returned to office work during the current break in his cricketing schedule, reflecting his ability to balance professional responsibilities both on and off the field.
Fans praise grounded approach
Images and reports of Kishan working at the RBI office quickly circulated on social media, with many fans praising his humility and commitment to fulfilling his official duties despite being an international cricketer.
Several users noted that government jobs secured through the sports quota provide athletes with financial security while allowing them to continue representing the country in their chosen sport.
Kishan remains one of India’s prominent wicketkeeper-batters and is expected to return to competitive cricket after his break.
