During the ongoing T20I series between India and New Zealand on Sunday. Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir made a blunt statement about Ishan Kishan.
Even though he scored a double ton, Kishan didn’t play in the ODIs. Against Sri Lanka and only returned when New Zealand played India.
Even though Kishan has been in the ODI and T20I series against New Zealand on a regular basis. The best batter hasn’t given the national selectors another timely reminder during the World Cup year.
Gambhir, a former Indian opener, believes that Kishan should concentrate on rotating strikes on a regular basis in light of his recent performances prior to India’s victory in the second Twenty20 International against New Zealand by six wickets.
Gambhir and Kishan also believe that the entire batting unit of the team led by Hardik Pandya has struggled against spin bowlers.
It’s not just a small flaw in his armor. The Indian batsmen have struggled against spin. It’s just the ability to not move. It’s easy to hit big sixes, but it’s hard to consistently rotate strikes.
Additionally, spinners had access to sufficient purchases. When you used Michael Bracewell against Ishan Kishan, it was pretty obvious,” Gambhir told Star Sports.
Because hitting big sixes on a wicket like this won’t be easy. I think these young players need to quickly learn how to rotate strike.
His batsmanship in Bangladesh is to blame for the surprise after scoring that double-century. After that, he struggled, and everyone thought that because of the number of innings he played, his graph would begin to mature.
In the first Twenty20 International at Ranchi. Kishan was bowled out by New Zealander Michael Bracewell for a forgettable score of 4 off 5 balls.
The Indian opener was involved in a run-out during India’s successful run-chase at Lucknow after the hosts lost the first T20I.
He still has to work hard against playing spin because the first six overs will feature a lot of spin against him. because he continues to excel at fast bowling.
