Told how I should keep the bat position. We have been playing cricket together since under-19. He knows a lot about my batting. So he suggested to me about the bat position. Will be thankful for that,” Ishan Kishan said.

<h2>Ishan Kishan came to bat before Virat Kohli</h2>

Ishaan came out to bat at number 4, Virat Kohli's regular spot, in the second innings. This wicketkeeper also narrated their story and revealed that this half-century is special for him. “I knew what the team wanted from me. Everyone supported me. Virat supported me and told me to go and play my game. Virat bhai took the initiative and told me that I should go for batting at number 4. Because at that time a left-arm spinner was bowling from the West Indies side. It proved to be a good decision for the team.”

“There are so many senior players who keep talking to the bowlers. It should be a good game tomorrow. The team needs to hit the right areas and it is also very important to get early wickets. It was one of my dreams to get into the whites. I just wanted to go in and hit every ball. Mostly thankful to my parents who have always supported me,” he added.
