Ishan Kishan, who plays wicketkeeper and bats, received a lot of appreciation from Ravi Shastri, a former cricketer for India, when he had an outstanding knock against Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2023. On Saturday, September 2, at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Kandy, there was a match between two of the most bitter rivals in the sport, but there was no result because of the heavy rain that fell throughout the day.
When team India was batting in the first innings of the competition, they suffered some early setbacks in the form of the dismissals of their captain Rohit Sharma, as well as Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and Shubman Gill, which brought their score down to 66/4. Despite this, India was able to get back into the game and record a respectable total of 266 runs thanks to the disciplined batting effort of Ishan and a 138-run stand that they shared with Hardik Pandya.
Ishan’s innings of 82, which consisted of 81 balls, included nine fours, two sixes, and a respectable strike rate of 101.23. Former cricketer Shastri, who was impressed with Ishan’s knock, claimed that the southpaw will be aiming for a berth in the setup for the high-stakes event if he is selected for the ODI World Cup team that will be released by the BCCI in the coming days. The ODI World Cup squad will be named in the coming days.

You come into the match as a batsman with the reputation that you are unable to score runs against any real sides. You should realise that this is an authentic version of myself. Haris Rauf and Shaheen were both outstanding in their respective roles. Ishan Kishan will go back thinking that these are three top bowlers and that I played them quite smoothly, and it would do wonders for his confidence, said Shastri on Star Sports. “In his mind, he will go back thinking that these are three top bowlers.”
Ishan Kishan will make every effort to compete in the one-day International World Cup. From India’s perspective, they need to maintain their adaptability. It’s possible that you’ll need an additional left-hander against certain teams in order to make things simpler for right-handers. In spite of the fact that you have a very excellent player in KL Rahul, India ought to maintain their flexibility, he continued by saying.
In reference to the game, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf shared 10 wickets amongst themselves, which allowed team Pakistan to hold team India to a low score. In spite of this, Pakistan have secured their spot in the Super Four stage of the Asia Cup, whereas India’s team will need to win their next match against Nepal in order to advance to the knockout stages of the competition.
