India wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan favours playing Test cricket according to the situation of the match, adding that "Bazball" should not become the template for playing every single five-day game.
Kishan, who made his Test debut on the West Indies tour, scored a T20-style half-century in the second innings of the drawn second Test here, as the need of the hour was to score quickly and set an imposing target for the hosts.

"It's not necessary that everyday you come in and start playing fast cricket. That should depend on the situation. The condition of the pitches also plays a role in how quickly one can score runs," said Kishan, who was promoted up the batting order to score quick runs on the fourth day of the second Test in Trinidad. Kishan scored a 34-ball 52 to help India set a 365-run victory target before rain played spoilsport.
