Ishan Kishan not happy even after a striking 77 in third ODI

India registered a 2-1 series win against West Indies after winning the third ODI match by massive 200-runs at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba on Wednesday.

Indian opener Ishan Kishan was disappointed that he did not capitalize on his half-century and was dismissed after scoring 77 in the third ODI match against West Indies. 

With Mukesh Kumar's early breakthrough followed by Shardul Thakur's clobber bowling, India registered a 2-1 series win against West Indies after winning the third ODI match by massive 200-runs at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba on Wednesday. The outstanding opening partnership of 143 runs between Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill guided India to set a massive target of 351 for five against WI.

After receiving the 'Player of the Series' award, Ishan said that he wanted to score big after being set.

"Not so happy with the finishing that I gave. I was supposed to score big after being set. That's what my seniors told me, I should've stayed in and scored big. That's what I'll try next time, I'll get set in the middle and score big. It's important at this level to get set. It's important to forget the last game and start from 0. I was thinking of taking it one ball at a time. [On Shubman Gill] He's a tremendous player, I've seen how he middles the ball. Seeing him hitting it out of the middle gives me a lot of confidence as well," Ishan said

"Always important to win at this level, the learnings from these games are important. We were looking to get early wickets, and didn't let any ball go. Everyone is looking very positive. I've played a few tournaments here and I know how the wickets play here, not really thinking about the next T20 world cup. Focusing on the upcoming tournaments, you know how one tournament can change your life. We're just focusing on that now," he further added.

Chasing a huge total of 352, West Indies lose their first wicket early as Mukesh Kumar dismissed Brandon King on a duck in the first over.
