The first match was won by England by eight wickets and the second match was won by India by seven wickets. Both matches were played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India were defeated by eight wickets in the first match but the second match was equally impressive. There were also two special things in this match. Firstly, Virat Kohli completed his 3000 runs in T20 matches by scoring an unbeaten 73 in this match and the second special thing was Ishaan Kishan’s batting.
Ishaan Kishan, playing his first match, scored 56 runs and certainly played an important role in India’s victory.
Ishaan Kishan presented such a pattern of his aggressive batting from the first ball to the dismissal that the match was one-sided in India’s favor. While praising him, Virat Kohli later admitted that he is a ‘reckless batsman’ and the partnership with him proved to be decisive.
In this match, India had a target of 165 runs to win, which they achieved by losing three wickets in 17.5 overs.
Ishaan Kishan was also the ‘Man of the Match’ of this match.
He said that – He was a bit nervous but he came to the ground only for the purpose of victory.
He credited his best innings to his coach, his teammates and his father. He is the second Indian batsman to score a half-century in his first match in the last ten years.
In this match played on 14 March, India captain Virat Kohli decided to bowl first after winning the toss. The team’s vice-captain Rohit Sharma was rested for the second consecutive match while Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan were allowed to play.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan and spinner Akshar Patel, who were unsuccessful in batting in the first match, did not find a place in the team. It seems that Suryakumar Yadav and Ishaan Kishan have got the gift of a great performance in the last IPL.
Suryakumar Yadav scored 480 runs in 16 matches for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2020 and contributed significantly in making his team the champion. He also scored 424 in the IPL of 2019 and 512 in the IPL of 2018. Obviously, it was difficult for the selectors to ignore Suryakumar Yadav.
Apart from him, Ishaan Kishan has also been a part of the Mumbai Indians in the IPL for a long time and he also shone with 516 runs in 14 matches last season. In this way, the dream of these two players to play international cricket for India came true.
Only 22-year-old Ishaan Kishan is a native of Jharkhand.
He has also played in the Under-19 World Cup cricket tournament played in Dhaka in 2016, in which he was also the captain.
Ishaan Kishan is a wicket-keeper but more than that he is known for his aggressive batting. If Shikhar Dhawan had not failed in the last match, perhaps Ishaan Kishan would not have got the opportunity so soon but Ishaan Kishan did not miss this opportunity and proved himself.
Ishaan Kishan has played 44 first-class cricket matches so far in which he has scored 2665 runs including five centuries and fifteen half-centuries. His highest score in this is 273 runs which shows that he can also play big innings.
Even behind the wicket, he has done 90 catches and 11 stumps.
After winning the toss and bowling first, the Indian team got the first success by Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the third ball of his first over.
He lbw Jose Butler. Butler could not even open his account. England had scored one run by then, but after that Jason Roy and David Malan batted well and added 43 runs in six overs of the power play.
Jason Roy hit a six over midwicket boundary in the first and seventh over of the innings to take the team’s score to 51 and also completed a 50-run partnership for the second wicket.
After all, David Malan scored 24 off 23 balls and was lbw by Yuzvendra Chahal. Although the on-field umpire had given not out to Malan but the decision changed after the UDRS, taken after the advice of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. He was replaced by Johnny Bairstow.
England’s score was 83 for two after ten overs. Then Jason Roy 44 and Johnny Bairstow were playing for five runs. Jason Roy then added only two runs and was caught by Bhuvneshwar Kumar in an attempt to send Washington Sundar’s short pitch ball out of the midwicket boundary line.
He scored 46 runs. He was replaced by Captain Oyen Morgan. England’s third wicket fell to 91 runs. After this, Johnny Bairstow was caught by Suryakumar Yadav on the ball of Washington Sundar by scoring twenty runs with the help of a six and a four off 15 balls. This fourth wicket of England fell to a score of 119 runs.
England’s score was 129 runs after losing four wickets after 15 overs.
At the time, Morgan Morgan 23 and Ben Stokes were playing two runs. Before Morgan and proved to be dangerous, he was caught by wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant on the slow ball of Shardul Thakur. Morgan scored 28 runs.
After this, Ben Stokes scored 24 runs on the log of Shardul Thakur at the hands of Hardik Pandya. England eventually scored 164 runs losing six wickets in the prescribed twenty overs. Sam Curran six and Chris Jordan were unbeaten without scoring any runs. England could only add 35 runs in the last five overs.
In this match, Bhuvneshwar Kumar took one for 28, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur took two wickets each for 29-29 runs.
Hardik Pandya did not get any wicket but he proved his fitness by doing full four overs.
When he gave 33 runs, Yuzvendra Chahal took one wicket for 34 runs.
Like England, India also had a bad start.
KL Rahul and Ishaan Kishan descended as the opening pair. KL Rahul returned by giving a simple catch to wicketkeeper Jose Butler on the last ball of Sam Kuran’s first over.
He was replaced by Virat Kohli.
Ishaan Kishan, playing at the other end, started his international career with a four off the very first ball of Jofra Archer. After this, he hit a strong six at midwicket on the very first ball of the first over of Tom Curran.
In the last IPL too, he had hit thirty sixes with his bat. Ishaan Kishan also hit two fours in this over, due to which India managed to score fifty runs for the loss of one wicket in six overs.
On one hand, while Ishaan Kishan was getting runs continuously with the bat, Virat Kohli also announced to regain his lost confidence by hitting a six off Ben Stokes.
It was the seventh over of the innings. In the same over, Ishaan Kishan forced the audience to swing with a six over the square leg.
After this, Ishaan Kishan also got a life on the ball of Adil Rashid when Ben Stokes dropped his easy catch at mid on.
The first ball was sent by Ishan Kishan for fours.
Virat Kohli completed his 26th fifty with a six off Tom Curran. Virat Kohli was seen playing in a very natural way. He took lofted shots keeping in view the filming.
Ishaan Kishan completed his half-century in his first T20 International cricket match with a six. He hit consecutive and loud sixes on the first and second ball of Adil Rashid in the second and tenth over of the innings.
After this, he became LBW by being a victim of over-confidence. Actually he went to reverse sweep on Adil Rashid’s ball. But whatever, Ishaan Kishan faced England’s fast and spinner bowler Adil Rashid with great boldness.
Ishaan Kishan scored 56 runs off only 32 balls with the help of five fours and four sixes. Ishaan Kishan not only shared a 94-run partnership for the second wicket with Virat Kohli, but also proved his selection right. With this, what else could Ishaan Kishan do?
After Ishaan Kishan, Rishabh Pant also entertained the audience by scoring 26 runs with the help of two fours and two sixes from only thirteen balls. He was caught by Johnny Bairstow off Chris Jordan.
When Rishabh Pant was out, India’s score was 130 runs after losing three wickets. Finally, Virat Kohli hit India on the fifth ball of the 17th over to give India a win by seven wickets.
Chris Jordan did it over. Virat Kohli remained unbeaten after scoring 73 runs from 49 balls. During this, he also completed his 3000 runs in T20 International cricket. He is the first batsman to achieve such feat. Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten after scoring eight runs.
With this, India has also achieved a 1-1 draw in this five-match T20 series and has shown that the team has the ability to return even after losing the first match, whether it is a Test or T20. .
