India vs England: Dinesh Karthik said Virat Kohli will revel playing with a 'power-hitter' like Ishan Kishan at the top of the order while heaping praise on the young wicketkeeper-batsman who shone on debut in the 2nd T20I on Sunday.
India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik said Virat Kohli's side needs a 'power-hitter' like Ishan Kishan at the top of the order in T20 cricket. Karthik heaped praise on Kishan after the 22-year-old shone on his debut in Ahmedabad on Sunday. India dropped Shikhar Dhawan after the 8-wicket defeat in the first T20I and got Ishan Kishan to bat at the top with KL Rahul on his T20I debut. India were under a bit of pressure as they lost Rahul for 0 in the first over in chase of a tricky target of 165. However, Ishan Kishan took the attack to the England bowlers, hitting a 32-ball 56 in a 94-run stand with captain Virat Kohli. Ishan paced his innings with the maturity of a senior pro and showcased fearlessness with a calculated approach, as mentioned by his skipper.More Related News
