India’s Ishan Kishan has been named the player of the match who played a 77-run knock and put his side in a dominant position.

He says his team “knew we had to put up a total like 160-170, which would be a good total for us”.

Ishan further said that an India-Pakistan match is “always a special game, not just for us but our country as well. They had pretty good spinners in their side. Winning this against Pakistan, it will give us confidence going forward”.
