‘Virat Bhai Ki Mat Suno’ Fans Ask Ishan Kishan To Not Depend On Kohli’s World Cup Promises


ADMIN

As Mumbai Indians won their match against SunRisers Hyderabad with a massive 42-run margin, their IPL 2021 campaign came to an early end after they failed to make it to the playoffs only for the fifth time in 14 seasons.

However, if there was a silver lining for the five-time IPL champions, it was the confirmation of wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan’s return to form and faith in himself to be the run-getter that the fans have gotten used to over the past couple of years.

Once again opening the batting order for Rohit Sharma’s squad on Friday, Kishan scored 11 4s and four 6s on his way to an 84-run innings in just 32 deliveries. With the lack of nervousness and no chip on his shoulders, Kishan looked a lot more comfortable at the top-order spot and swinging for the fences like there was no tomorrow.

With a second consecutively solid performance coming off of Kishan’s bat on the pitches of the United Arab Emirates, this is a good sign for the young southpaw and his chances of showing up in the Playing XI for the Men in Blue in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2021 at the same venue.

After receiving his ‘Player of the Match’ prize on Friday, Kishan gave some insight into Team India’s dressing room talks and the kind of conversations he has been having with skipper Virat Kohli and some of the other senior members of the side.

“I had a good chat with Virat bhai, Jasprit bhai also helped me. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya also supported me. Everyone supported me and said this is a learning stage for me and make sure that I should learn from my mistakes here and not repeat it during the T20 World Cup,” said Ishan after the match against SunRisers Hyderabad.

“Virat bhai told me ‘You are selected as an opener, you just have to be prepared for that. But at the bigger level, you need to be prepared for everything,” he added.

However, the cricketer’s fans warned the young lad about not depending too much on what Kohli has promised him with regards to his World Cup chances as an opening batter:

If he's picked as an opener, he'll on the bench the entire tournament.

He doesn't told like that, you will be opener because having kl and rohit, don't you see kl knock yesterday, he can do both class and everything in it, we need to sit Rohit but India doesn't do that, may be virat also because of his low sr but not able to do he's the Captain
