COLOMBO, July 19:
Before going out to bat in his debut ODI against Sri Lanka, young Ishan Kishan had announced in the dressing room that he would hit the first ball for a six, irrespective of the bowler and where the ball would be pitched.
And he did what he had promised by hitting a six off Dhananjaya De Silva, the home team’s off-spinner.
Kishan, who celebrated his 23rd birthday with a smashing 42-ball-59 told teammate Yuzvendra Chahal on bcci.Tv that he had a fair idea that the surface was not providing enough assistance to the slow bowlers. (PTI)
