Bishnoi has been playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Kings XI Punjab over the past two seasons. He was selected as one of the draft picks by new team Lucknow Super Giants, ahead of the mega IPL auction this month.
Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi made his international debut in the first T20I against West Indies in Kolkata on Wednesday. Bishnoi was handed over the India cap ahead of the toss, with the likes of Virat Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma cheering him on. Bishnoi was one of the star performers of the Indian U-19 team, that finished runners-up in the 2020 ICC U-19 World Cup. The leggie has been touted to do well in international cricket for a while and this is a big opportunity for the youngster to impress head coach Rahul Dravid and Rohit Sharma as they look to firm up the structure of their squad for the ICC World Cup later this year.
