Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Ishan Kishan played a brilliant innings against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Friday. He was also selected as the Player of the Match for this. However, he is not happy with his performance in this IPL season. He has promised the fans to work hard ahead. Kishan's unbeaten innings of 94 runs gave Sunrisers, who were already out of the playoff race, a big win of 42 runs over Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Kishan said in the award ceremony after the match, 'Overall I am not very happy with the performance. I could have done better this season. This is a learning game. You have to keep working hard.' This left-handed batsman hit seven fours and five sixes in his unbeaten innings of 48 balls. After receiving the Player of the Match award, he said that he got an idea of ​​the nature of the Lucknow pitch when openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head added 54 runs in just four overs.

He said, 'It is important to see the ball and play your game. The moment I saw Abhishek and Travis Head start the game like this, I knew it was a very good pitch. I was just thinking about playing good shots. The plan was very simple.' After scoring 231 runs for six wickets, SRH bundled out RCB for 189 runs in 19.5 overs. This defeat has made it difficult for RCB to make it to the top two in the table.

At the same time, Sunrisers captain Pat Cummins said, 'It was a bit late to return this season, but we made a good all-round effort with both bat and ball. Now that Nitish is bowling again, it feels like we have a sixth bowler. Abhishek has always been telling me that he is a good option and I should use him. We had misunderstood the wicket. We thought it could be a 170-run wicket and then when some batsmen came back after getting out, he said this is a really good wicket and we have to score a lot of runs. Ishan Malinga has been fantastic for us. Wherever you ask him to bowl, he has taken wickets. He has a lot of weapons - fast yorkers and a great dipping slower ball. He has been a find this season.
