Cricket experts raised demand to make Ishan Kishan as foot-time captain
New Delhi. Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar said that even after Pat Cummins returns from injury, Ishan Kishan should captain Sunrisers Hyderabad. Cummins had to stay out of the T20 World Cup and the initial matches of the IPL due to back pain. He can make a comeback against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur on Saturday.
Former India batting coach Bangar said on Star Sports that as captain, Ishan Kishan has shown that he uses the bowlers very wisely. He knows which bowler to bring against which batsman. It is clear that he understands the game very well. He does not come under pressure, does not hurry and takes right decisions on the field. That’s why I feel that even if Pat Cummins returns, the captaincy should remain with Ishan Kishan. Bangar said that generally having an Indian captain provides stability to the team.
Kishan should captain in place of Cummins
Considering Pat Cummins’s recent injuries, it is difficult to say how fit he will be in the remaining matches. He said that it would be best for Sunrisers to keep Kishan as captain. Bangar said that keeping Ishaan as captain will also help the players to continuously improve in their game. I think this will be right for Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Kishan said that the secret of his success is to overcome the fear of failure, keep moving forward and rebuild the team after every match.
Kishan’s captaincy book is different
Kishan said that at this level everyone’s skills are almost the same, the real difference comes from mentality. It was important for me to prepare myself again between every match. He said that constant focus, desire to win and staying mentally present is the key to success. You cannot keep the fear of failure in your mind. If any such thought comes then one should remove it and remain positive. Kishan said that he has a special relationship with his bowlers. He said that my relationship with the bowlers is about keeping things simple and positive. I have a good understanding with a bowler like Shakib Hussain and I have told him to remain calm. This is T20 cricket, every bowler gets beaten at some point or the other. What matters is how you recover from it.
