Quotes
Ishan Kishan
East Zone captain and batter
“The best thing I’m doing nowadays is not thinking about anything. My job as a batsman is just to go there, watch the ball, and react to it and not keep any expectations from myself. At times, you will, obviously, lose patience. But that is the time when you have to talk to yourself; you have to control that, calm your thoughts about whether you are taking the right decision or not, and after that, you execute your plans.”

“I didn’t actively try to change myself. It just happened naturally. When I was out of the (India) squad, I realised that we ultimately have only one job to do — simply to score runs. That is the only thing that helps you in your career.”
