Our World Cup team performed like a winning team, therefore I was a little bummed to miss it: Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan has been outstanding for India, scoring back-to-back half-centuries to help the team take a 2-0 lead in the five-match Twenty20 International series against Australia.

Following Sunday’s second match, he had a conversation with JioCinema specialists in Thiruvananthapuram. Take a peek:

On the flames inside the belly. What is the source of that?

It seems to me that it’s all hunger. We were a champion team in the World Cup, and I was left out. I couldn’t help but feel a little down. In international cricket, there will come a point at which you will have to stop playing, but until then, you must keep your mind active and make the most of your opportunities. You must seize the chance when it presents itself.

Regarding the 2024 T20 World Cup qualifier, the India-Australia T20I series

Clearly. There are only nine games left before the World Cup, so we need to take advantage of every chance we get. However, the game today was enjoyable. Although it was anticipated that the wicket would turn, the dew factor prevented it from happening. Going forward, it will be critical for us as a young team to quickly assess the wicket, adjust to the circumstances, and play appropriately.

Regarding taking some time to get used to the current series,

It’s critical to show consideration for well-bowled balls. Australia is always prepared to counter any batsman. I was just attempting to keep things basic. However, you have to charge the bowlers when the time comes because, as we all know, 170-180 runs are not safe in T20 cricket these days. All we were doing was focusing on the gaps and keeping things straightforward.

During his bat swing, Has that been his lifelong way?

My style has always been attacking batsmanship. My dietitian and chef deserve the credit for power-hitting. I have to make sure that I continue to do excellent work because I have paid a lot of money to hire too many men.

Regarding precision and the team’s daring attitude

It is your responsibility to watch how the big players play when you are not participating in the game and are seeing it from the outside. How they’re going deep into the game and how they’re going after the bowlers when they speed up. It’s never going to be easy, so these things are crucial for us. Thus, if the procedures and drills go well, you should carry the same energy into the games.

On getting ready for a power-hitting

Most of the World Cup games were not ones I participated in. There was a lot of practice because I was sitting out the next two matches. As I was speaking with the captain and the coaches, I realized that I needed to have a positive outlook because when T20 time came, it would be my turn.
