‘Spinner’ Ravi Bishnoi could be a familiar vision for every Indian cricket fan, but this Indian spinner flicking the ball and smashing bowlers is certainly a new thing for everyone. India, who were in a difficult phase while chasing England’s 166 runs, still needed more than 20 runs with 8 wickets down.
On one hand, Tilak Varma was still fighting, and finally, he got big support from the spinner.
In this match, Bishnoi turned into a stylish batter, and some of his shots made Varma’s task easier and helped the team chase the target with a few balls remaining. Bishnoi made 9 runs off 5 balls, including two crucial boundaries that came at the exact right time.
That’s why he is proving himself as a reliable batter as well as the former T20I world number 1 bowler in the ICC rankings.
He has shown composure in the past, but this one tops the chart. After the game, Bishnoi quipped about his batting and spoke about the reel he posted just before the game: ‘I posted a reel recently that was, “Why only batters should have fun?” It was great to contribute with the bat tonight,’ Bishnoi said.”

You saw the couple of boundaries he hit.’ India registered their second win in this 5-match series, and now all eyes are on the third T20I. After Kolkata and Chennai, the caravan will move to Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, where India will look to seal the T20I series.
