Ishan Kishan on his Knock in 3rd ODI vs WI
India won the first ODI game of the 3-match series and lost the second ODI game by 6 wickets and receives severe criticism for sidelining the senior players. Though many slams the Indian selection committee for their decision, Jadeja came in support of the decision.
India who were in need of winning the 3rd ODI game made a bold decision by not including the senior players in the playing 11. Winning the toss, West Indies decides to bowl first where Indian opening batters laid a strong foundation by scoring 143 runs for the 1st wicket.
Ishan Kishan who scored 77 runs in the 3rd ODI left disappointed after failing to score big.
“Not so happy with the finishing that I gave. I was supposed to score big after being set. That’s what my seniors told me, I should’ve stayed in and scored big. That’s what I’ll try next time, I’ll get set in the middle and score big. It’s important at this level to get set.
It’s important to forget the last game and start from 0. I was thinking of taking it one ball at a time. [On Shubman Gill] He’s a tremendous player, I’ve seen how he middles the ball. Seeing him hitting it out of the middle gives me a lot of confidence as well,” Ishan said
“Always important to win at this level, the learnings from these games are important. We were looking to get early wickets and didn’t let any ball go. Everyone is looking very positive.
I’ve played a few tournaments here and I know how the wickets play here, not really thinking about the next T20 world cup. Focussing on the upcoming tournaments, you know how one tournament can change your life. We’re just focussing on that now,” he further added.
