However, Ishan continued to bat with the same intent. In the 17th, over he slammed Axar Patel for a huge six to complete his fifty. Ishan Kishan cleared his front leg against a short of length delivery to smash it over the deep mid-wicket region for a six. The left-hander raised his bat, to acknowledge the loud applause from the crowd.
