In a thrilling encounter between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC), Ishan Kishan played a pivotal role not only with the bat but also showcased his skills behind the stumps, contributing significantly to MI's victory. 

Reflecting on the win, Kishan emphasized the importance of his role as a wicketkeeper in setting up the right field placements.

"Very good. We were talking to our coaches on what fielding to set. As a wicket-keeper, I have a big role to play. I know it’s difficult for the captain to get the best field set. It’s my job to know the angles and set the right field. Those angles, it’s all on the wicket-keeper," said Kishan in the post-match interview.
