Ishan Kishan seals top-order slot as India post 241/5 against South Africa in T20WC warm-up

Navi Mumbai: Ishan Kishan locked in his top-order slot with a 20-ball 53 as Indian batters made most of their only warm-up game ahead of the T20 World Cup, scoring 240 for five after electing to bat here on Wednesday.

Ishan, who struck 103 in the final T20I against New Zealand last week, came out firing on all cylinders to put on an 80-run stand with Abhishek Sharma (24 off 17 balls, retired out) inside the powerplay.

He is expected to open the batting alongside Abhishek Sharma in the tournament opener against the USA at Wankhede on February 7.
