after ishan kishan

DY Patil T20 Cup: After Ishan Kishan smashed a 23-ball half-century inside the powerplay for Mumbai Indians to chase down 197 in 15.3 overs against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter said his splendid knock came after the realisation of about not putting himself under pressure due to things not in his hands.

Kishan had taken a break from the game after pulling out of India’s Test tour of South Africa last year and didn’t play a single game for Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy. On Thursday evening, he slammed a 34-ball 69 and also had two catches taken behind the stumps to signal that he’s back to his prolific self.

"There's nothing like that I want to prove to someone. I just have to go there and enjoy it because I've learned that you don't have to put pressure on yourself about things that are not in your hands. The uncontrollable is there, and you have to figure out what is controllable and uncontrollable.
