Ishan Kishan reveals his weakness & explains what he has been working on

When asked about what he has been working on in recent times, Ishan stated that he has been working on his pace hitting in the middle overs when the ball gets softer. Arguing that hitting sixes has never been a problem for him, but he wants to start manipulating the field more.

Kishan is currently being considered as a man of key value in the run up to the two World Cups in the next two years. If he can click with Rohit Sharma at the top, the opposition will have a force to deal with at the top whenever the dup come out to bat.
