"He was little more circumspect than usual": Uthappa
On a high-scoring night in Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad's (SRH) Ishan Kishan showcased a more composed version of his aggressive self, hammering an unbeaten 94 off just 48 balls to script a 42-run win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). His innings, studded with seven fours and five sixes, propelled SRH to a daunting total of 231/6, a total RCB could not chase down. JioStar expert Robin Uthappa was particularly impressed by Kishan's altered approach at the top of the order, calling it a sign of growing maturity. "I think he was a little more circumspect than usual. He took his time to settle in -- and that's a good sign," Uthappa said on JioHotstar.
