Speaking after the match, Kishan stated he was dissatisfied that he didn’t capitalise on his half-century.
“Not so happy with (my) finishing. I was supposed to score big after being set. That’s what my seniors told me. I should have stayed in and scored big. That’s what I’ll try next time…It’s important to forget the last game and start from zero,” stated Kishan.
Happy to be on the successful facet: Gill
Gill, who has recently been struggling to transform good begins into massive knocks within the ODI format, was comfortable to lastly get innings below his belt.
“Very special (knock) for me. I was looking for a big score (century) but unfortunately that didn’t happen. I’m happy that we ended up on the winning side,” stated the younger India opener.
“It was a good (pitch). Initially the ball was coming on nicely and as the ball got older, it became tough to hit…I just try to do my best.”
