How is India preparing for Pakistan’s Usman Tariq? Ishan Kishan explains

February 12, 2026

India batsman Ishan Kishan responded to a reporter’s question during the post-match press conference regarding Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus’ somewhat unorthodox bowling, giving them the ideal preparation to face Pakistan in the next group stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup T20.

“No, I think the preparation part is over. Now it’s just about watching the ball and playing our natural game. If the ball is going to hit, as batsmen, we want to go for it because it’s a T20 game and we’re trying to put up a good total. But we also have to believe in our strengths. There’s nothing we have to prepare for. We’ve got a few videos at this level and our faces are looking at the bowl.” To put it simply, (Gerhard Erasmus) played very well today and our team also learned a lot,” said Ishan Kishan.
