Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has revealed the advice that he received from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma during his lean patch in the first phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The left-hander was the most expensive player at the auctions.

Ishan was signed by the Mumbai Indians for a whopping 15.25 crores. In the first phase of the tournament, he struggled to make an impact for the team. This led to many questioning his price tag. However, Ishan has made a decent comeback. In the eleven matches, he played, the left-hander has scored 321 runs at an average of 32.10.

During a media interaction on the eve of the Mumbai Indians’ clash against the Chennai Super Kings, Ishan opened up the advice that he received from his skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

“When I spoke to Rohit bhai, or even to Virat Kohli bhai during the game against RCB and Hardik bhai, everyone told me the same thing ‘you don’t have to think about the price tag’ because it’s not something I have asked for. The team had belief in me, so they did spend the money,” said Ishan Kishan.

It’s important to think about my game: Ishan Kishan

The wicket-keeper batter further added that it’s important to not take pressure about the price tag and instead focus on the game. He expressed that speaking to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli helped him to handle the situation better.

“Instead of thinking about the pressure of the price tag, it’s important to think about my game and being in the zone. So talking to the senior players really helped. They have played the game for so long and handled different situations. For them also, at some point, the auction price would have gone up. So I learned how they handled the situation then,” Ishan said.

The Mumbai Indians will take on Chennai Super Kings on Thursday at the Wankhede Stadium in Match 59 of the Indian Premier League 2022 season.
