Ishan Kishan played stormy innings of 93 runs. The partnership Ishaan and Shreyas formed was worth watching: Dhawan

Indian captain Shikhar Dhawan said after the match, ‘The ball was coming on the bat well but staying low, so our plan was to take an aggressive approach against the bowlers in the first ten overs.

As soon as the dew started falling, the ball was slipping, so it became easier to play on the back foot. I am very happy with the bowlers, especially Shahbaz.

The way he bowled in the first ten overs gave us success. Thanks to Keshav that he decided to bat. I must say that the way Ishaan and Shreyas forged a partnership was worth watching.
