Suryavanshi on Saturday hammered a stunning 37-ball 103 for against Sunrisers Hyderabad, marking his second IPL century with this one made off just 36 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Reflecting on his conversation with the 15-year-old, Kishan said, \u201cI was just telling him about the madness with which he is batting and how he is hitting. Sometimes, you are even scared thinking about what the scorecard could have looked if he had stayed for a few more overs. So, it was important for us to get his wicket. It was 228, it could have easily been 258. Cricket is all about comebacks. We got him out and made a little comeback there. That\u2019s what I told him, \u2018When I am playing against you, please go a little easy on my team. I know all your secrets and inside stories,\" Kishan told JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vice-captain Kishan played a brilliant knock of 74 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 229 runs target in 18.3 overs and registered a dominant five-wicket win against Rajasthan Royals (RR).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Speaking about his role at No. 3, Kishan emphasised the importance of anchoring the innings and making life easier for others in the batting order.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cAfter having played for so many years as a No. 3 batter, if you are set, you look to score big and bat till the end. It makes the job easier for the other batters with you, as they don\u2019t feel the pressure. That is my only thinking, to keep things as simple as I can, be in a good headspace, and just take it one match at a time. If we play good cricket, the rest of the team will learn from it. In the end, it\u2019s a team sport. When you play good cricket, it rubs off on the others. I have also made a lot of mistakes, so my only aim is not to repeat them, which unfortunately, I did in the end in this game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhen I wasn\u2019t playing and was out of the team, I told myself I can\u2019t cry or sulk about it. It\u2019s the easiest thing to do for any sportsman. It might earn you the sympathy of a few people, you might even feel good about it, but it won\u2019t get you anywhere. The only thing that could have gotten me back into the reckoning was runs. So, I just wanted to improve my game and score as many runs as I could, even if that meant hitting more sixes than any other batter. Only consistent run-scoring can bring you back into the team. If 300 runs in a season are not enough, score 400; if not that, score 500. At the end of the day, cricket is our daily bread. When you\u2019re out of the team, you understand its importance and start respecting every game. You become hungrier, and that was my focus: to become the best.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
