'Not keeping expectations': Ishan Kishan reveals mindset behind epic 270

NEW DELHI: Ishan Kishan believes having a clear mind has helped him rediscover his best form. After hitting a stunning 270 in the Duleep Trophy final, East Zone captain Kishan said he has learned to avoid overthinking and putting unnecessary pressure on himself.For Kishan, the focus is now simple - score runs and help his team win matches. His marathon knock against South Zone was a clear sign of the change in his mindset after a difficult phase in his career."I didn't actively try to change myself. It just happened naturally. When I was out of the (India) squad, I realised that we ultimately only have one job to do: simply to score runs. That is the only thing that helps you in your career," Kishan said in the post-day press meet."Any other thoughts will only manipulate your mindset, push you into overthinking, and pile on unnecessary pressure.
