Ishan Kishan has always performed well during his opportunities according to him. Wicketkeeper batters have limited chances to play in matches. Ishan has performed well in all his matches.

The batting coach explained how players like Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav together with Abhishek Sharma enable the team to pursue an attacking style of gameplay.

“Some of the players are aggressive and what we plan, we go sorting through that and depending on wickets in hand and the situation, and whether we are chasing or posting, it will help us. But fortunately we have players who can play very aggressively and there have been such good players in India as well so that’s a great thing he said.

The left-handed batsman has complete knowledge about his batting plans according to his teammate who called him a highly intelligent player.

“Obviously, it is his plans, what he wants to do. But we definitely discuss what pace to bowl and what areas to bowl (at nets), and what would be the better shot if it doesn’t go fine. Kotak said that he is an intelligent player who uses his mind to think.
