By Usually, when a batsman registers an impressive feat such as scoring a half-century or a century on India debut, he dedicates it to his parents or those who’ve had a huge role to play in his life or career. But for Ishan Kishan, it was for his coach’s father, whom the batsman revealed, unfortunately, passed away a few days ago.
“My coach’s dad passed away a few days back and this innings was for him. I wanted to prove myself because he said you have to score at least fifty for my Dad. So I want to dedicate this award to him,” Kishan said after he was adjudged Player-of-the Match for his scintillating half-century in the second T20I against England that helped India win by seven wickets and level the series.
