- Ishan Kishan continued from where he left off for Mumbai Indians in their last group stage match.’
- He had slammed 84 off 32 balls against SRH and an unbeaten 50 against Royals in the UAE leg of IPL 2021.
- The brilliant turnaround was a result of words of wisdom from India captain Virat Kohli. He had faced a lean patch during his previous matches in UAE.

- If he is picked in India playing XI vs Pakistan, expect him to make headlines with his super batting ability.
- Pakistan might be calling UAE their second home but it’s Kishan who had smashed 500+ in the last edition of IPL and slammed most sixes.
