Ishan Kishan will feature in the three T20I series against Sri Lanka from February 24 onwards.
Indian keeper-batter Ishan Kishan has revealed the kind of bowlers who trouble him the most and named one specific bowler against whom, he has a hard time.
England pacer Jofra Archer was one among the names that came up in the discussion that Kishan had in an interview with The Times of India, while he discussed his troubles against pacers like Archer, particularly in shorter formats of the game.
When asked, "What kind of bowlers trouble you?" Kishan gave a direct response.
He said: "The Jofra Archer kind. He gets a little extra bounce. His pace and run-up don't match up. He comes in slow jogging. Playing shots off him is difficult. In One-day cricket, you get the time and can rotate the strike and target the other bowler. But in T20s, it is a very fast game."

MI recently acquired the stylish left-handed hitter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 Mega Auction. He had entered the auction with a base price of Rs 2 crores, but he had no idea that he would wind up drawing buyers who were willing to spend a lot of money on him.
His former squad MI came out on top in that race, purchasing him for a whopping Rs 15.25 crore, the most expensive purchase in the auction. Kishan went on to discuss the issues Archer and other such bowlers face when bowling in the T20 format.
"In international cricket, you won't be served balls on a platter to hit sixes. You must make your own space, move around the crease. Doing that to Archer is a bit difficult," he added.
