“Mujhe lagta hai umpire log smart ho gaye hain. Har baar karenge (appeal) toh phir unn log out ko bhi not out de denge. Isse achha ek baar karo, jab hai tab call karo, aap log ko bhi confidence rahega ki sahi time pe hi call karte hain… Warna abhi (Mohammad) Rizwan type kuch karunga toh phir aap log ek bhi baar nahi denge (out).” (I think the umpires have become smart. If i appeal everytime then they will not give genuine outs also. It is better to only appeal when you have the confidence. If i do something like Mohammed Rizwan then you will not give even a single out.) said Ishan Kishan while poking fun at Mohammed Rizwan.
