Ishan Kishan displayed the menacing form he has shown of late in the India nets on Wednesday until being hit by a sharp Jasprit Bumrah delivery. Bumrah, bowling full tilt for the second day in a row, was a good sign for India, who missed his services in the T20 World Cup opener against USA. However, the same could not be said about Kishan who limped off the nets after being struck on the foot. Kishan did return to bat in the nets but not for long.

At the post-match press conference, Ellis was asked to talk through the decision and the confidence to bowl that delivery first up. "Yeah, something that I've really tried to challenge myself on a little bit is trying to bowl at first ball. I mix it up, I bowl at first ball some games, some games I don't, but I want to be able to pretty much bowl anything, any ball that I have, first ball of a game," Ellis said. "I use the Big Bash a lot to ..
