Ishan Kishan Reveals What Virat Kohli Told Him As He Faced Jofra Archer On India Debut

Ishan Kishan's international career got off to a rollicking start as he hit a half-century against England in his debut match for India.

But Virat Kohli, the captain of the team at the time, walked in and encouraged Kishan to try and clear the ropes.
