It was a far cry from Kishan against the West Indies, who struggled to get going and made just 71 runs in three innings.

"I got to learn a lot from the West Indies series. My intent wasn't good enough, I wasn't positive enough. I was just trying to keep it simple here - watch the ball and play my shots," said Kishan, adjudged 'Player of the Match' in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Asked about his memorable shot from the scintillating knock, Kishan replied, "Pull is my favourite shot, I enjoy playing that shot."

Kishan was happy with matches happening in bigger stadiums at home in the run-up to the Men's T20 World Cup in Australia later in the year. "It's a positive thing for the batting unit as well because you need to hit gaps preparing for the world cup in Australia. Bigger boundaries are a good thing as we get lots of gaps."

"I was talking to Shreyas (Iyer) about the mid-wicket region. He said if you middle the ball you could get a boundary. If you hit the gaps you can get two. And it went my way."
