The head coach of the opposing team, Mike Hesson, has also given a big statement regarding Ishan Kishan, who contributed significantly to India’s victory against Pakistan. Hesson has admitted that Ishan Kishan’s innings snatched the match from his team’s hands. Hesson said that Ishan’s stormy half-century made the difference between India and Pakistan in this match.
Ishaan played a stormy innings
Ishan played a stormy innings of 77 runs in 40 balls against Pakistan, with the help of which India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs in Colombo on Sunday and secured a place in the Super Eight. Hesson admitted that Kishan destroyed his spin-oriented strategy by scoring 66 runs in 37 balls against Pakistan’s slow bowlers on a slow Premadasa pitch. Hesson said, I think Ishan plays without fear. He can score runs on both sides of the field. Therefore he is not limited to just the leg side. We know he is a strong leg-side batsman, but he can also play reverse shots. Therefore, if a spin bowler is bowling, especially in the power play, it can be a challenge to stop him. He said, I think the way he is in great form, it put a lot of pressure on our spinners and perhaps they deviated from the basics. Apart from that, Shivam Dubey’s performance was slightly better, but the competition was tough. Kishan’s innings was indeed the best in the entire match. The way Kishan played, he snatched the match from us. Akshar Patel said – There is more pressure in the match against Pakistan. Indian all-rounder Akshar Patel admitted that there is extra pressure during the cricket match between India and its arch-rival Pakistan, but he said that the players try to concentrate on their work by remaining calm and not paying attention to the discussions going on outside regarding the age-old rivalry. Akshar said, yes, there is pressure. People around you, your family or friends talk to you about it. So yes, there is a little more pressure than a normal match.
