Return to form with two consecutive fifties IPLYoung wicketkeeper-batsman Ishan Kishan said that captain Virat Kohli has told him that he will be seen as an opener in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. The 23-year-old made 84 off 32 balls and an unbeaten 50 off 25. The balls were top-order in the last two matches for Mumbai Indians, but it went in vain as the defending champions were knocked out of the play-offs due to a poor net run-rate compared to Kolkata Knight Riders.
Rohit Sharma is consistent as India’s all-format opener and in T20Is, KL Rahul and skipper Virat Kohli opened with him but Kishan could be seen with him in the upcoming T20 World Cup. He said, ‘I would love to open and that’s what Virat bhai said. But on a larger scale, you need to be prepared for everything.”

Kishan is happy that he is back in form which will be good for Team India ahead of the mega event. “It is a great thing for me and for the team as well. Keeping in good touch before the World Cup.” MI had to win their last game by at least 170 runs but it was almost impossible, even though the five-time champions scored 235 in the end.
“A good state of mind is very important. I knew we were in a do or die situation. It was just intention and a positive mindset.” You have to be prepared for every situation. It is important to stay in that mindset. I had a conversation with Virat bhai, HP [Hardik Pandya]MILF KP [Pollard] – They were all there,’ said the dasher from Patna.
