In the recent IPL match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Amit Mishra, the veteran Indian leg-spinner, praised Ravi Bishnoi, the young leg-spinner who played a crucial role in LSG’s victory. Mishra, who himself has been a successful leg-spinner for India, complimented Bishnoi’s accuracy and control over his variations. Bishnoi’s performance in the match was impressive as he took three wickets, including the crucial scalp of SRH’s captain David Warner, and conceded only 21 runs in his four overs.
Bishnoi, who made his IPL debut in 2020 for Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and was retained by the franchise for the next season, was traded to LSG ahead of IPL 2023. The young spinner has been known for his ability to bowl accurate leg-breaks and googlies at a brisk pace, which makes it difficult for the batsmen to pick him. In the match against SRH, Bishnoi bowled with great control and kept the batsmen under pressure throughout his spell. His performance earned him the Man of the Match award and helped LSG secure their second win of the season.
Mishra’s praise for Bishnoi is a testament to the young spinner’s potential and talent. Mishra himself has been one of the most successful leg-spinners in Indian cricket history and has played a crucial role in India’s success in limited-overs cricket. His words of encouragement will surely boost Bishnoi’s confidence and motivate him to perform even better in the upcoming matches. With his impressive performance in the IPL so far, Bishnoi has shown that he has what it takes to become a top-class spinner for India in the future.
