Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan smashed a 34-ball half century which prompted captain Rohit Sharma to declare on 181/2 in the 2nd innings to set West Indies a massive total of 365 runs on Day 4.

Ishan, who was under a lot of criticism for his low scores in the ongoing series, displayed shades of Rishabh Pant in his batting. Notably, the 25-year-old also thanked Pant for his inputs on his batting which he shared during their time at the NCA (National Cricket Academy).

“I was at NCA before coming here. I was practising there and Rishabh was also there for his rehab. He just got few points for me, he asked me the bat position and everything. Because we have played together, so many matches, we are together since under 19. So he knows how I play, what my mindset is. So he just helped me a little bit with my bat position and everything. So otherwise I think I also wanted someone to tell me a few things about my batting and it was a great time for him to come and chat with me and I am really thankful for that," Ishan said in the video posted by BCCI.

The southpaw also talked about India’s position in the match after the day’s play.

“It should be a good game tomorrow. We need to hit the right areas and important to get early wickets," he added.

“It was one of my dream to get into the whites. I just wanted to go in and hit every ball. Mostly thankful to my parents who have always supported me," Ishan said.
