‘Not so happy’ – Ishan Kishan expresses disappointment despite winning Player of the Series against West Indies

Indian star batter Ishan Kishan expressed his dissatisfaction with not finishing the innings in the series-deciding match despite earning Player of the Series awards against the West Indies. Notably, the Men in Blue clinched the series 2-1 against the Shai Hope-led side. Furthermore, the 25-year-old batter smashed 184 runs for a remarkable average of 61.33. In addition, the top-order batter produced half-centuries in each of the three games and maintained his consistency.

The wicketkeeper batter affirmed that he is not satisfied with his performance as he was unable to convert any of the half-centuries into a hundred. Moreover, the top-order batter pointed out that the senior players had told him that he would have stayed in the game and scored big runs.

“Not so happy with the finishing that I gave. I was supposed to score big after being set. That’s what my seniors told me, I should’ve stayed in and scored big. That’s what I’ll try next time, I’ll get set in the middle and score big,” Kishan said, being quoted by Hindustan Times.

The Mumbai Indian batter further added that he is not thinking much about the next T20 World Cup; he is just focusing on the upcoming tournaments, as he believes that one good tournament can change the lives of players.

“Always important to win at this level, the learnings from these games are important. We were looking to get early wickets and didn’t let any ball go. Everyone is looking very positive. I’ve played a few tournaments here and I know how the wickets play here, not really thinking about the next T20 world cup. Focusing on the upcoming tournaments, you know how one tournament can change your life. We’re just focusing on that now,” he added further.
