“In the IPL you have to face quality bowlers from all over the world and you get used to these bowlers. And I think that’s really for me.”

Kishan also said that the team management supported him to play his natural game without feeling pressured.

“Before the match I was told that I should open the innings and play openly and the way I am playing in the IPL. I was told not to bring extra pressure. But it was my first game, I was a bit out on the field. Was nervous. “

“But when you wear your country’s jersey the pressure just goes away and you try to give your best.”

The debut was in hopes of picking up the mind of the India captain during Virat Kohli’s 94 and during the five-match series.

Chase Master Kohli (73 not out from 49 balls) led India to victory with 13 balls remaining after Kishan was dismissed.
