Salman Butt on Ishan Kishan
With 184 runs in the just-finished ODI series against the West Indies, Ishan Kishan stood out for the Indian cricket squad. He reached the fifty-point mark in each of the three games of the series, and both experts and fans praised him for his consistency. If Kishan enters the team to replace Rishabh Pant, he will probably be employed as a middle-order option for the ICC World Cup in 2023. As a result, while excelling as an opener, Kishan may have very little experience playing that particular position. Salman Butt, a former Pakistan cricketer, remarked that Kishan needs guarantees from the team and was unimpressed by the management’s choice.

I wholeheartedly concur that India’s trial with Ishan was perplexing. One player was let go after scoring 200. What is the purpose? They must accept his status as a backup option, even if he scores 1000 runs in a single inning. That never makes you feel as though you are the best or that you will be rewarded for your efforts. Right now, it seems like you’ll always be the second choice, Butt said on his official YouTube channel.
Player of the series: Ishan Kishan
In the final ODI against the West Indies, Kishan received the “Player of the Series” award, and during the post-match presentation, he said something interesting.
What has Ishan had to say?
“I wasn’t too pleased with the finishing I provided. After being set, I was meant to score big. My seniors informed me that I should have stayed in and scored heavily. The next time, I’ll try to get set in the center and score heavily. At this point, getting set is crucial. It’s crucial to disregard the previous game and begin from scratch. I considered approaching it one ball at a time.
The lessons from these games are essential for success at this level. We didn’t let a ball go since we were trying to take early wickets. Everyone appears to be in good spirits. I’ve participated in a few tournaments here, so I am familiar with the way the wickets behave. I’m not really considering the upcoming T20 World Cup. You know how one tournament may transform your life as you concentrate on the forthcoming competitions. Now, we’re simply concentrating on that,” he continued.
