Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma heaped praise on Young Ishan Kishsn, after they thrashed the Kolkata Knight Riders by 102 runs at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
“I’m glad we came together as a team and performed well. Without doubt Ishan Kishan’s knock, his fearless knock was the turning point,” he said.
Ishan provided much-needed tempo to Mumbai who were initially struggling in the first 10 overs of their innings. Kishan, who smashed a 62 off 21 balls helped the Mumbai Indians post a huge total of 210 in their 20 overs.
“Hitting wasn’t easy as the ball was sticking in,” said Rohit, “Ishan just came in and changed momentum. All credit to him, he was waiting for this knock, wanted to come out. Also for Ben Cutting to come out and finish on a high, he hasn’t got a lot of opportunities, but he backed himself to do that.”
