Sunrisers Hyderabad batter Ishan Kishan on Friday conceded that he was not happy about his performances this IPL season, but promised to work hard on his game.
Kishan made a fine unbeaten 94 to guide already-ousted Sunrisers to a massive 42-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru here.
“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 left-handed batter, who was later adjudged player of the match, said he had gauged the nature of the Lucknow track once openers Abhishek 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.
Speaking about the match, Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 42 runs in an IPL match here on Friday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad posted a competitive 231 for 6, riding on Ishan Kishan’s 48-ball unbeaten 94 and then restricted RCB to 189 in 19.5 overs.
Apart from Kishan, left-handed opener Abhishek Sharma smashed 17-ball 34 with almost all the RCB bowlers being among the wickets.
