Early life
Porel is originally from the city Chandannagar, about 50 km away from Kolkata.{{Cite web|title=Ishan Porel Profile – ICC Ranking, Age, Career Info & Stats|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/11404/ishan-porel|access-date=28 October 2021|website=Cricbuzz|language=en}} His family has a long tradition of sports, with his father and grandfather playing Kabaddi. His grandfather Subodh Chandra Porel represented India while his father Chandranath Porel played for Bengal in the state level. So taking sports seriously has become a sort of Porel's family tradition. Cricket may have been his first love, but it wasn't the first sport he pursued.{{Cite web|title=Ishan Porel – Pacing ahead|url=https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/98899/ishan-porel-pacing-ahead|access-date=28 October 2021|website=Cricbuzz|language=en}}
"There was no objection from family as to which sport I pick up. I started off from swimming and table tennis, but I wasn't enjoying those games. When I started playing cricket and started enjoying it, my parents cautioned me. If you pursue another sport and drop off, it won't be good for me."
Porel started his cricketing journey at the National Sporting Club in his hometown, Chandannagar. He came to Kolkata in 2012 for a cricket clinic. Inspired by Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, Porel auditioned for batting. Later, he took up fast bowing on the advice of his coaches, who saw a pacer in his tall, slender and lanky frame.
Personal life
He is the cousin of Indian wicket-keeper batter Abhishek Porel.{{Cite web |last=Bhargav |first=Dixit |date=2023-03-29 |title=Abishek Porel brother name: Are Ishan Porel and Abishek Porel related? |url=https://thesportsrush.com/cricket-news-abishek-porel-brother-name-are-ishan-porel-and-abishek-porel-related/ |access-date=2024-05-14 |website=The SportsRush |language=en}}
