Ishan Kishan's RBI ID Card Photo Goes Viral Online
Ishan Kishan is a famous Indian cricketer who keeps wickets and bats.
Recently, pictures of him wearing an official ID card from the Reserve Bank of India went viral online.
Some people were surprised because they thought he was only a cricketer.
The pictures were reportedly taken at the bank's office in Patna.
It turns out Kishan has been an Assistant Manager at the RBI since 2017.
He got the job through the sports quota, a special way banks hire great athletes.
In sports quota jobs, athletes are chosen for their sports achievements instead of written exams.
Kishan has even played cricket for the RBI team when his schedule allowed.
His bank job gives him career security while he keeps playing professional cricket.
The bank had not yet officially confirmed his employment details when the story was published.

Kishan has reportedly worked for the RBI as an Assistant Manager under the sports quota since 2017.
