Ishan Kishan said in the press conference after the match, ‘During the World Cup when I was not playing, I asked myself before every practice session what is important to me now. what can i do I practiced a lot on net. I was constantly talking to the coach about the game, how to take the match to the end, how to target certain bowlers.
‘I knew what a wicket was like’
He said, ‘Being a left-handed batsman against the leg-spinners, I was in a good position. I knew what the wicket was like because I kept the wicket for 20 overs. When you are chasing a target of 209 runs, you have to target a bowler against whom you can play big shots. I spoke to Suryabhai (Captain Suryakumar Yadav) that I will play big shots against this player (Sangha) no matter where he bowls because we want to minimize the difference between runs and balls.
‘I had to take risks and I believed in myself’
According to Ishan Kishan, ‘You cannot give away too many runs to the tail batsman. It will not be easy for him to come straight and play the big shots. I had to take risks and I believed in myself. Kishan’s 39-ball 58 and Suryakumar Yadav’s 42-ball 80 helped India chase down the target of 209 with one ball to spare and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
‘We lost two wickets early’
On losing two wickets early while chasing the target, Kishan said, ‘We lost two wickets early and the partnership was very important. I also played in the same team with Suryabhai in the IPL so I know how he plays, what shots he can play… I think the communication on the field was very good today. We were talking to each other about which bowler we have to target, we have to keep rotating the strike. Overall, wicketkeeper batsman Kishan called it a ‘solid all-round performance’.
