Ishan Kishan told the big weakness of Team India in England, due to which it lost in the second T20.

New Delhi: Wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan is disappointed with the defeat in the first T20 against England. Ishan Kishan believes that India will have to adapt better to the conditions in England and get rid of the problem of slow batting in the middle overs. India has not been able to win its last four T20 matches. After losing both the matches against Ireland, the first match of the series against England was abandoned due to rain while it lost the second match by four wickets.

In this match, the Indian team was not able to score runs at the expected pace in the middle overs. Kishan said in the press conference, “Absolutely he will have the best bowling options.” They will have a better understanding of the circumstances. But we are also trying to improve. We are all trying to understand what their players are doing against us because they have more information. We have to understand where we can score 20 extra runs as a team. We will talk about this and perform better in future.

England’s 17th over proved decisive

The 17th over of England’s innings proved to be decisive as Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi started with two no-balls and Jacob Bethel (76 not out off 46 balls) hit three sky-high sixes as the hosts achieved the target of 191 runs with one over to spare. Kishan said, “The match was in our control from the beginning. The match was in our hands but getting two free hits reduced the pressure on England’s batsmen. He took advantage of it.

He said, “I think we bowled very well. We had our own strategies, but at the same time, we have to give credit to Bethel because they stayed for a long time and made the most of the opportunity.” Kishan admitted that consecutive defeats make a big difference to the mentality, but said that the players are mature enough that they can understand defeat as a team and recover from it.

Did not win, but played good cricket – Ishan Kishan

He said, “Even though we did not win, I think we are playing good cricket. The most important thing is that we understand where we can improve. We are all trying to improve.” Kishan said, “Losing also affects the thinking but we are all mature enough to understand what is happening and where we can improve as a team.”
