India will face Pakistan in the men's cricket gold-medal match on October 3 at Korogi Sports Park in Nisshin. Kishan will enter the final after making a strong impact in the semi-final, while Chopra has suggested that the wicketkeeper-batter could eventually take over the vice-captaincy from Tilak Varma.
India lost early wickets against Sri Lanka before Kishan steadied the innings and accelerated later on. He remained unbeaten on 80 from 46 balls, hitting four fours and five sixes, and was the main contributor to India's total alongside Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who scored 38 from 21 balls.
“Our batting struggled a bit in the middle, faltered, and that's where Ishan Kishan scored 80, man. And Ishan Kishan is also growing in stature. I mean, it feels like the day is not far when he will get the vice-captaincy.
It was very difficult to bat against the spinners - Ishan Kishan on his performance in Asian Games semi-final
Ishan Kishan's innings became particularly important after India were 24/2 early in the innings. With Sri Lanka using several spin options, the left-hander focused on selecting his scoring opportunities rather than trying to attack every delivery.
“Looking at Bumrah, how we started getting those two early wickets, you know, a pace bowler getting those wickets. So I think bowlers, I think it was expected, was very much needed for them to step up, and they did it in a very good manner.
He added that the early boundaries helped him find his rhythm despite the difficult batting conditions.

Ishan Kishan also credited Vaibhav Sooryavanshi for providing India with a strong start. The 15-year-old scored 38 from 21 balls and helped India reach 58 runs during the powerplay before Ishan Kishan took greater responsibility in the middle overs.
“We both batted very well initially. He [Vaibhav Sooryavanshi] got those starts for us earlier also, and, you know, on this wicket especially, when you use the power play, we ended around, what, 58 runs in six overs, which was very good. So my job was to just keep it going in the middle. Iyer was there, and we were just trying to make those partnerships.
“But unfortunately, I feel the wicket, you know how it was, and it was pretty difficult for the batters to be in the middle. So my target was just to get anyhow to 150. I was not looking at my personal score or anything. It was just one goal: how to get 150 on board first.”
