Ishan Kishan became the youngest and fastest batter to score a double century in One Day Internationals. He scored 210 in 131 deliveries including 24 fours and 10 maximums at an strike rate of 160.30.
After his Marvelous innings, Kishan talked about his game plan and revealed how Virat Kohli calmed him down before his maiden double hundred in international cricket.
“The wicket was too good to bat on. My intent was very clear – if the ball is there, I’ll go for it. I’m blessed to hear my name amid such legends. Still feel when I got out – 15 overs were left. Could’ve scored 300 also. Batting with Virat bhai, he has such good sense of the game. He was calming me down when I was in my 90s. I wanted to bring it up with a six, but he said to get it in singles as it’s your first,” said Kishan while speaking to the host broadcaster.
I didn’t take too much pressure on myself, just wanted to make use of the opportunity: Kishan
“Had a chat with Surya bhai – he said when you bat before the game, you see the ball well. I didn’t take too much pressure on myself. Just wanted to make use of the opportunity,” he added.
