India U-19 cricket captain Ishan Kishan arrested for reckless driving

India Under-19 cricket captain Ishan Kishan has been arrested by Patna Police in a case of alleged reckless driving, reports India Today.

Kishan reportedly rammed his speeding car into an auto-rickshaw and injuring the people inside the three-wheeler. Then the 17-year-old got into a scuffle with people at the accident site. The car belonged to his father.

Kishan then reportedly got into a fight and was beaten up by people who did not recognise him.

The police have arrested Kishan and others involved in the brawl.

Kishan plays for Jharkhand after the Cricket Association of Bihar lost its affiliation with the BCCI. He put in some excellent performances at domestic and junior level over the course of last year.

Kishan has scored 736 runs from 10 matches in the Ranji Trophy at an average of 40.88, which includes one hundred and five half-centuries. He was appointed captain of the U-19 team in December 2015.

The arrest might come as a blow for the Indian U-19 team, given that the Under 19 World Cup is set to begin in Bangladesh on January 27.  India start their campaign against Ireland on January 28.
