“Not so happy with the performance overall. I could have done so much better this season. It's a game of learning. You have to keep working hard,” said Kishan in the post-match presentation.
The southpaw who was awarded Player of the Match for his iconic performance said that he gauged the nature of the Lucknow track once openers Abhisek Sharma and Travis Head added 54 runs in just four overs.
“It's important to just watch the ball and play your game. The moment I saw Abhishek and Travis Head starting the game like that, I knew it was a very good track. I was just thinking about playing those good shots. Plan was very simple,” he added.
