Jharkhand coach Ratan Kumar sets three format goals for Ishan Kishan.

Jharkhand coach Ratan Kumar has set specific goals for cricketer Ishan Kishan as he aims to sharpen his performance across all three formats of the game. Recognizing Kishans potential, Kumar emphasized the importance of versatility and adaptability for players in modern cricket.

In a recent discussion, Kumar outlined that Kishan must focus on improving his technique and decision-making, which are crucial for succeeding in Test matches, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20) games. He believes that Kishans aggressive batting style should be balanced with the patience required in longer formats.

Kumar also highlighted the significance of fitness and mental strength, encouraging Kishan to constantly work on both aspects to enhance his game. As a player who has already made a mark in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kishans transition into the international arena will demand rigorous preparation and commitment to continuous improvement.

Moreover, Kumar suggested setting measurable performance targets for Kishan, tailored for each format—such as run averages, strike rates, and contributions in critical match situations—so that he can systematically track his progress.

These initiatives aim not only to boost Kishans confidence but also prepare him for the challenges that come with international cricket, ensuring he remains a pivotal player for the national team.
