IPL 2021: How Virat Kohli's advice worked wonders for Ishan Kishan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer

The tall left-hander made his IPL debut against Royal Challengers Bangalore and from there, went on to cement his place in KKR Playing XI courtesy of some outstanding knock with the bat so far. The biggest moment in a youngsters life came when he got a chance to interact with RCB skipper Virat Kohli.

Yashasvi Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal has had a good IPL 2021 tournament so far and is currently the third-highest run-getter Rajasthan Royals in the tournament. The youngster had a mixed start to the second leg and against RCB he had scored 31 runs from 27 balls. The Royals lost the match to RCB by 7 wickets but for the youngster, the loss turned out to be a blessing in disguise as he along with some other youngsters from the team got a chance to interact with Virat Kohli. Post the interaction, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a half-century against CSK in the match which RR won by 7 wickets.

Ishan Kishan

The Mumbai Indians cricketer was recently selected for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup, however, the wicketkeeper-batsman had failed to hit the strides in the initial matches of the second leg. During Mumbai Indians match against RCB Ishan Kishan scored only 9 runs and was dismissed by leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. Post the RCB vs MI match, Virat Kohli was seen consoling Ishan Kishan who was looking emotional. The chat proved to be a motivating factor for the youngster who returned back to form with a half-century against Rajasthan Royals in the previous match.
