“It’s not necessary that everyday you come in and start playing fast cricket. That should depend on the situation. The condition of the pitches also plays a role in how quickly one can score runs,” said Kishan, who was promoted up the batting order to score quick runs on the fourth day of the second Test in Trinidad. Kishan scored a 34-ball 52 to help India set a 365-run victory target before rain played spoilsport.
