Question to Ishan Kishan on Usman Tariq
After the match against Namibia, Indian team’s wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan spoke to the media. Ishaan was asked about Usman Tariq. The journalist asked Ishaan, ‘Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus, who bowls side arm. Do you think this was an opportunity for good preparation before facing Pakistan’s Usman Tariq?’ In response to this, Ishan Kishan of the Indian team said – No, I think we have already prepared. Now you just have to see the ball and play your natural game. If the ball is meant to be hit then as batsmen we go for it because it is a T20 game. We are trying to make a good total. But we also have to trust our strengths.
Talking further, Ishan Kishan said- At this level we just watch some videos. This gives us an idea of what kind of bowling is going to happen. So we are keeping things simple. Erasmus bowled very well today. I think we learned a lot.
28 year old Usman Tariq has played 4 T20 International matches so far and has taken 11 wickets in it. In his T20 career, he has 70 wickets in 42 matches. The pitch of R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo also helps spin bowlers.
