Southpaw opener Ishan Kishan expressed his disappointment in not converting his 77 into a hundred in the IND vs WI 3rd ODI. Kishan is having an incredible India tour of West Indies, where he made his Test debut and then was the highest run scorer in the ODIs. Kishan also became just the sixth Indian to score three consecutive 50s in a bilateral series. Despite winning the ‘Player of the Series’ award, the opener was unhappy with himself for not converting any of his three fifties into a ton.
“Not so happy with the finishing that I gave. I was supposed to score big after being set. That’s what my seniors told me, I should’ve stayed in and scored big. That’s what I’ll try next time, I’ll get set in the middle and score big. It’s important at this level to get set. It’s important to forget the last game and start from 0. I was thinking of taking it one ball at a time. [On Shubman Gill] He’s a tremendous player, I’ve seen how he middles the ball. Seeing him hitting it out of the middle gives me a lot of confidence as well,” Ishan said talking in the post match interview.

“Always important to win at this level, the learnings from these games are important. We were looking to get early wickets, and didn’t let any ball go. Everyone is looking very positive. I’ve played a few tournaments here and I know how the wickets play here, not really thinking about the next T20 world cup. Focussing on the upcoming tournaments, you know how one tournament can change your life. We’re just focussing on that now,” he further added.
Kishan scored 184 runs in the series at an average of 61.33 and an impressive strike rate of 111.52. The left-hander will now be seen in action in the IND vs WI T20 Series starting on August 3.
