The BCCI shared a video of ishan speaking after the day’s play pronouncing, “I was at NCA before coming here, I was practicing there and Rishabh was also there for his rehab, he just got few points for me, he asked me do you know the bat position and everything because he has seen me playing with him, we have played together so many matches, we are together since Under-19, so he knows how I play, what my mindset is, so he just helped me a little bit with my bat position and everything. I also wanted someone to tell me a few things about my batting and it was a great time for him to come and chat with me and really thankful for that.”
Ishan made his Test debut within the first Test in opposition to the West Indies in Dominica. He had scored simply 1 run when Rohit Sharma declared the primary innings and India went directly to win the fit via an innings and 141 runs within 3 days.
