Ishan Kishan the internal fire within. From where does that originate?
All I can think about is hunger. We performed like a winning team during the World Cup, yet I was left out. You can’t help it, but I was feeling a little down. There will come a moment in international cricket when you will not be able to play, but you must keep your mind active and make the most of your opportunities when they do. You have to seize the opportunity when it presents itself.
on the T20I series between Australia and India, which serves as a training ground for the 2024 T20 World Cup.
Of course. We need to take advantage of these chances because we only have nine games left before the World Cup. The game today was enjoyable, though. The dew factor prevented the wicket from turning, despite expectations that it would. As a young team, it will be crucial for us to assess the wicket as soon as possible, adjust to the circumstances, and play appropriately moving forward.
Regarding settling in slowly, in the current series
Respecting balls that have been bowled well is vital. Australia always has strategies to counter any batsman. I just wanted to keep things straightforward. However, you must act quickly when it comes time to charge the bowlers because, as we all know, 170-180 runs are not safe in T20 cricket these days. All we were doing was attempting to focus on the gaps and keep things simple.
swinging his bat. Did he always feel that way about it?
I’ve always been a batsman who attacks. My chef and dietitian deserve all the credit for their power-hitting. I have to make sure I keep up the fantastic work because I have paid a lot of money to hire too many individuals.
Regarding clarity and the team’s courageous approach
You have to pay attention to how the top players play when you are not participating in the game and are watching it from the sidelines. How they are focusing on the bowlers when they accelerate and how deeply they are playing the game. Because it will never be simple, these things are crucial to us. You must therefore enter the matches with the same vigor if the procedures and practice sessions are going well.
Regarding the setup for power-hitting
I didn’t play in the majority of the World Cup games. I practiced a lot because I was sitting out the next two bouts. I understood that when T20 comes, my turn will come and I need to be in a positive frame of mind, as I spoke with the captain and the coaches.
