Ishan Kishan had a troublesome time in opposition to West Indies particularly within the final two video games in Kolkata the place the ball had began to do its bit. But as he reached Lucknow, the swing evaporated and the batter took full benefit slamming 89 runs. Although he regarded iffy first up, he quickly discovered his rhythm in opposition to Chamika Karunaratne who he slammed for 3 back-to-back boundaries. He would later admit that he discovered quite a bit from the final sequence after getting the person of the match award.

“I got to learn a lot from the West Indies series. My intent wasn’t good enough, I wasn’t positive enough. I was just trying to keep it simple here – watch the ball and play my shots. Pull is my favourite shot, I enjoy playing that shot. It’s a positive thing for the batting unit as well because you need to hit gaps preparing for the world cup in Australia. I was talking to Shreyas about the mid-wicket region. He said if you middle the ball you could get a boundary. If you hit the gaps you can get two. And it went my way,” Kishan mentioned.
