Quotes

Ishan Kishan

Indian wicketkeeper‑batter for the national team

“To be very honest, I didn’t feel this was the kind of wicket where you could just walk in and score 200-plus runs. We felt anything around 180 would be a good total because there was variable bounce on a few deliveries. We knew partnerships were going to be very important. But as a number three batter, once you’re set, you want to make it count and score big runs.”

“You don’t think about the wickets that have already fallen. The past is past. You just keep watching the ball. You know your strengths, you know where you can score and which bowlers you can target. It’s about being smart in the middle.”
