India’s debutant opener Ishan Kishan credited the team management for his quickfire 32-ball 56 en route India’s win over England in the second T20I to level the five-match series 1-1 on Sunday night.
“Before the match, I was told to go and open the innings and play freely, the way I play in the Indian Premier League. I was told not to take extra pressure,” Mumbai Indians’ batting star Kishan said after India’s dominant seven-wicket win.
