Ravi Bishnoi has a great future, and India sees something special in him – Rohit Sharma

On Wednesday, India captain Rohit Sharma showered praises on 21-year-old Ravi Bishnoi, who impressed on his T20I debut against the West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Bishnoi took two wickets and conceded only 17 runs as India limited the West Indies to 157 in 20 overs before winning by six wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.

After guiding India to their fourth consecutive T20I victory since taking over as full-time captain, Rohit remarked that India is witnessing something new in Bishnoi, who bowled more googlies than leg-breaks in the first T20I.

India moved ahead and signed two wrist-spinners, knowing Bishnoi’s ability to routinely bowl the wrong’uns. The strategy succeeded, as the two leg-spinners wreaked havoc on the West Indies in the middle overs, taking up three key wickets. Bishnoi made an impression in his debut, picking up two wickets in four overs while conceding only 17 runs.

Bishnoi was also part of the ODI squad, but Rohit stated the team wanted to pick him in the T20I XI right immediately, adding that the young leg-spinner had a bright future ahead of him. It came as no surprise that the Lucknow Super Giants selected Bishnoi ahead of the IPL 2022 super auction, as the spinner continues to establish his worth at the top level.

“Bishnoi is a skilled player, which is why we chose him right immediately.” We notice something unique about him. He has a wide range of variations and skillsets with him “Rohit stated following India’s six-wicket victory.

We have a lot of options for rotating the other bowlers since he can bowl at any stage.” He was pleased with his debut game for India, and he has a bright future ahead of him. It’s now up to us to figure out how to use him.
