Ishan Kishan scored his second ODI fifty on Monday as India dominated the proceedings in Harare. Walking into bat after the successive dismissals of Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul, Kishan stitched a fine partnership with Shubman Gill to restore India’s advantage in the game.

The duo put on 140 for the third wicket with Kishan playing the anchor while Gill went into an all out attack on the opposition. Kishan eventually reached his half-century in 60 balls. He, however, was dismissed soon after, failing to build on his half-century and move closer to a century as Gill did.

Kishan laced his innings with six boundaries in a measured knock which was needed by the team.

The 23-year-old had has his ups and downs in recent months, from being the highest-ranked Indian batter in T20Is to being dropped out of the Asia Cup squad.
