T20 WC: Emotional Ishan Kishan Dedicates Trophy Triumph To Late Cousin Sister
In the final, Kishan hit 54 and was one of the architects in India getting a 96-run win over New Zealand to clinch their third T20 World Cup title. “To be honest, before the game, I lost my cousin sister in a car accident. I played well for her. I spoke to Hardik Bhai; he said to put the team ahead. I dedicate this win to her, and this was on Women’s Day, so it makes it all the more special,” Kishan told reporters in the mixed zone interaction.
Kishan had battled his way back into the national side after being out of the team for nearly two years and now saw himself finishing as India’s second-highest run-scorer in the tournament behind Sanju Samson. While reflecting on his journey back into the team, Kishan cited Virat Kohli’s example as a guiding principle for himself.
