Weird decision

What did Bishnoi do wrong? He bowled very well on debut. Removed Babar Azam. Only 7 runs in his final overs (18th over) and you can say he hit 2 fours as well to push the score to 181

Why did Rohit/Dravid drop him and keep Chahal who has been quite poor in this tournament?
 
Chahal's wife is friends with Rohit's wife. Chahal is also a clown and makes everyone laugh. This is how ha makes a living.
 
Its Bishnoi dropped for Ashwin.

Team management is pathetic.

Taking the team 10 years back.

Kuch to sharam hoti hai

Kuch to haya hoti hai

It seems selectors can never satisfy you. You are always going to cry irrespective of who is playing. And these 'sharam' and 'haya' type comments doesn't suit you lol. :inti
 
Cabt play two wrist spinners and they have invested too much in Chahal I suppose.

Also, both Ashwin and Bishnoi spin the ball into the right hander. If they played bishnoi and dropped chahal, they would have had to play akshar to spin it the other way.

Guess they want atleast one spinner who is a bit experienced.
 
Because Ashwin can bat and Bishnoi can't.

Chahal is much higher than Bishnoi in hierarchy. You would not see Pakistan suddenly replace Shaheen Shah Afridi with Hasnain because Afridi had a bad game and Hasnain had a good one.

You can not over-react to one game and change entire team plan.

More than that after last game they wanted to bat till 8 instead of 7 and last over vindicated the value of Ashwin as a batter.
 
Dravid will destroy this team with his Experiments, he thinks he is coaching U19 to try different ways of losing
Why bring in Hooda if he is not going to bowl
Why pick KL at top he is atrocious
Why did Bhuvi keep bowling outside offside yorker when it's clearly not working ,he lost us both game by his stupid bowling
 
I told at last T20 world Cup itself , Shastri/ Kohil alteast took india up to knock out stages but our keep crying and adamant that Rohit will take to Cup final
But I can already see 2007 50 over World Cup like exit waiting for us in 2022 T20 and 2023 50 over Cup , Before dravid resign and go after Ist round exit in 2023 he will take our team back 90s
 
Well the guy brought you back in the game single handedly wuth 3 wickets. Bishnoi wouldn't have made a big difference imo.
 
The gate opened due to a poor shot by Nissanka

Chahal was trash before that one poor shot
 
Asia Cup: Why Did Ravichandran Ashwin Replace Ravi Bishnoi In Crucial Clash vs Sri Lanka? Here's What Rohit Sharma Had To SayIndia vs Sri Lanka: Ashwin has a tremendous record against left-handers and the Sri Lankans have quite a few southpaws in their team and this could be a reason for his inclusion in the playing XI.NDTV Sports DeskUpdated: September 06, 2022 07:31 PM ISTRead Time:2 min

India take on Sri Lanka in a crucial Asia Cup Super 4 encounter in Dubai on Tuesday and Rohit Sharma has made one crucial change in the playing XI with the seasoned Ravichandran Ashwin replacing young leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Ashwin has a tremendous record against left-handers and the Sri Lankans have quite a few southpaws in their team.

It is a must-win encounter for India after losing their match against Pakistan on Sunday. Captain Rohit Sharma lost the toss and had this to say about the decision to include Ashwin in the playing XI.

"With the dew, we need to learn the lines, the lengths and the boundaries well. The grass is lesser tonight. It looks drier, and we have one change on the basis of the Sri Lankan team: Ashwin comes in for Bishnoi," Rohit said.

Rohit said that he would have also wanted to bat first and also said that the format of the Asia Cup is helping the team prepare for the T20 World Cup.

"We would have bowled first as well. The pitch doesn't change too much just gets better to bat later. We batted pretty well in the last game, fell little short. It gives us a opportunity to come out and do well.

"This is how the WC will be played and we need to get into mindset to get under pressure. Can't lose to afford many games," the Indian captain said.

Speaking about the loss against Pakistan Rohit said that tight games like these helps the team learn a lot.

"It was a tight game, games like this will help us learn a lot more. We got to learn a lot more when you are defending a score like that. Another opportunity to do that and get it right. Same pitch The grass is a bit less, looks slightly drier," Rohit Sharma said.

He is all of 22 but Ravi Bishnoi full understands that cricket indeed is a cruel game and instead of Arshdeep Singh, it could have been him dropping an important sitter against Pakistan during the recently held Asia Cup. Arshdeep faced an unbelievable backlash on social media after he dropped Asif Ali's catch off Bishnoi's bowling in the Super 4s game that India lost.

Bishnoi, however, had impressive figures of 1/28 in 4 overs and was easily the best bowler in his only chance at the continental event.

"Paaji mere sabse acche dost hai (Paaji is a dear friend). We all know that dropped catches are part and parcel of game. It can happen with the best. It could well have been the other way round where he was bowling and I happened to drop the catch," Bishnoi, who has played 10 T20Is for India in 2022, told PTI during an interaction.

"Arshdeep is one of the bravest boys that I know. After that catch, you saw how he came and bowled at the death. It never looked as if he was perturbed. That's his mental strength," said the Rajasthan man, who is in the stand-by for the ICC T20 World cup.

Working on developing a potent leg break

With 16 wickets and an economy rate of 7.08, Bishnoi has been impressive in the chances that he has got for India in the shortest version.

But having missed the T20 World Cup bus to a much senior and accomplished Yuzvendra Chahal, the common question is that if he is becoming a one-dimensional option with googly as his only potent weapon.

"No one from the team management has pressed it upon me that I have to develop a leg-break," the Jodhpur lad said.

In fact, former leg-spinner Sairaj Bahutule, who also happens to be one of the bowling coaches who travels with the team, told him not to worry.

"I had spoken to Sairaj sir and he said that it's fine as long as I am working on that variation. He told me 'Yes, you are trying to develop a potent leg-break and someday, you will certainly execute it to perfection. I am working on it and hope it happens sooner than later," Bishnoi said.

In fact, wrist spin is one of the toughest art in cricket and Bishnoi knows that he can't be afraid of batters giving him the charge.

"You shouldn't be scared of getting hit or when the batter is attacking. As per situation, I bowl a lot of flippers and top spinners. You need to analyse the match situation and bowl accordingly."

Yuzi bhai tells me to "enjoy" and "be fearless"

It is not always easy if your competition is as skillful a bowler as Chahal but Bishnoi is enjoying every moment of working with the senior wrist spinner.

"Yuzi bhai hasn't told me anything specific (on leg break bowling). He always tells me that every moment that you are on the ground, you should enjoy and as a pair, we should try and bowl well in tandem which is beneficial for the team."

Bishnoi feels comfortable in both kinds of roles, attacking as well as a restrictive one.

"One has to perform a specific role that is being assigned. At times, it could be a wicket-taking role and at times, a restrictive one. For me, the most important aspect is that I have not wasted opportunities, whatever chances I have got, I have tried my best to utilise it."

'Dressing room accepted me with open arms'

It has now been seven months that Bishnoi has sporadically played for India but being in that dressing room environment with some of the best players in the world has helped him in his learning curve.

"It was the best moment of my life when I got India call-up and my coaches were ecstatic. It has been a great journey so far with the team as we won almost all the bilateral contests and only Asia Cup didn't go our way."

Bishnoi will be brand face of Super4, latest entrant in the gaming sector that allows cricket fans and enthusiasts across India to create teams prior to the start of a match. Super4 provide fans with India's First ever cricket scorecard empowering fans and enthusiasts to create fantasy scoreboards.

It has also been announced as the title sponsor for the inaugural match of the upcoming inaugural Legends League match between Indian Maharajas and World Giants to commemorate the 75th Year of Indian Independence.

Truly shocking that a quality spinner like Bishnoi is being ignored ahead of the some of the jokers that form part of the Indian bowling attack.

Indian cricket has truly gone to dogs. So much talent to choose from and we still keep selecting these jokers.
 
Ravi Bishnoi bowling in the Powerplay this series:
Overs: 7
Runs conceded: 45
Wickets: 5
ER: 6.43
Dots: 20
 
He loves to emulate Shahid Afridi's signature celebration style. So far, he has taken 2 wickets against Australia in the 5th T20I.

India spinner Ravi Bishnoi has continued his remarkable recent rise by becoming the No.1 bowler on the latest MRF Tyres ICC Men's T20I Player Rankings.

Bishnoi only made his international debut at the start of last year, but some consistent performances for his country has seen the 23-year-old rise four spots on the updated rankings to claim the premier position.
 
Surprised to see Ravi Bishnoi reaching the number 1 position so quickly with limited matches played, whereas no Pakistani player is in the top 10 rankings.

Sunil Gavaskar believes that despite becoming the top-ranked T20I bowler in the world, spinner Ravi Bishnoi is new to the international stage, and he has considerable gaps in his bowling as of now. Gavaskar shared this with a local Indian sports channel:

"If there is a bit of turn from the pitch, I think Jadeja [could inflict most damage]. He bowls so flat that he doesn't allow the batter any chance to go down the pitch and attack him. So if there's just a bit of assist, his four overs could be telling as far as India are concerned."

"Ravi Bishnoi... still finding his feet at the international level. Yes, he is the No. 1 T20 bowler in the world but again, if you get stuck into him, sometimes you tend to see him bowl faster and quicker. The faster you bowl on a good pitch, it gets that much easier for the batters because the pace is exactly what they are looking for."

"It wasn't easy for the Indian bowlers. You could see that the ball was very wet. They had to keep wiping it which is never easy. Because the ball feels like soap in your hands. Even for the fielders, as the ball comes in and suddenly slips. Things didn't go India's way but compliments to South Africa on a well-organised chase."
 
Gavaskar is probably right wirh his analysis that Bishnoi, despite being No. 1, might struggle under pressure by bowling too fast.
 
Ravi Bishnoi has emerged as the most expensive Indian bowler in the ongoing T20I series against Afghanistan, conceding an average of 10.57 runs per over.
 
Today he proved in the Super Over against Afghanistan why he is the number 1 T20 bowler.
 
Don't need both Kuldeep and Bishnoi unless Bishnoi becomes a hitter overnight.
I think bishnoi can be played against sena teams.He is very difficult to get away and mayank/pacer for non sena teams.Bishnoi can give a good back up in batting

Selecting too many specialist spinners has been a mistake in our white ball cricket in recent times.

No competent team selects more than 1 pure spinner in their squad anymore.
 
Bishnoi's ends his spell on a high. 2/25 in 4 overs but still couldn't save LSG from the loss against DC.

But issue is we don't have a 5th bowler who can bowl good and bat a bit. If Kohli takes an opener position, it means we will play jadeja at 7 and third pacer like mayank or a spinner like bishnoi will be the 5th bowler.bishnoi at any rate won't concede more than 35 runs and a wicket taker.we are playing too many spinners but jadeja won't get any wickets even on those slow pitches

7. Axar/Jadeja
8. Bumrah
9. Arshdeep
10. Kuldeep
11. 3rd pacer

If you're suggesting Bishnoi replaces Axar/Jadeja, it will weaken the batting ridiculously and we should not even bother turning up.

If Bishnoi comes in for a pacer, then Axar/Jadeja have to be dropped for Pandya.
 
He is nothing special... with the likes of Chahal and Kuldeep in the team it's so difficult for someone to secure a spot.

Am expecting

2 jaiswal
3 kohli
4 sky
5 pant
6 pandya
7 jadeja
8 ?
9 kd
10 bumrah
11 siraj / arshdeep

Axar have done nothing to secure a place so as jadeja.

Bishnoi has been playing ahead of Chahal for quite some time now. His only competition atm is Kuldeep who is also doing pretty well.

I think we should go batting heavy in this t20 world cup

Ask all the batters to take an attacking approach bcoz of the depth in batting

Jaiswal
Sharma
Kohli
Pant
Sky
Pandya
Parag
Sundar
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Pacer (Someone who does well this IPL)

Sundar is as good a t20 bowler as Axar Patel or Jadeja and he can bat better.

Abhishek Sharma should be in that XI too if you want firepower and depth. Also, he can bowl. Pandya has to bowl 4 overs every match to justify selection. Otherwise he is not worth it. There is no need for 2 off spinners in Parag and Sundar. You need someone who turns it the other way.


I'm clutching at straws of delusional fantasies but ideally if we can make something like this work, it'll be great

Jaiswal
Sharma
Kohli
SKY
Abhishek(SLA)
Pant(wk)
Parag(off break)
Pandya(4 overs every match)
Kuldeep
Bumrah
Arshdeep

If Arsh/Bumrah/Kuldeep/Pandya can give 16 overs , then Parag and Abhishek should be trusted to give 4 overs together.

But again, this ain't happening

2 jaiswal

6 Parag

10 bumrah
11 arshdeep/Mayank

5th bowler duties shared between Pandya and Parag.

Rinku misses out as he cannot bowl. Man deserves his chance , but it is tough selection.


This will be the last WC and T20 selection for both Rohit and Kohli. Both their spots will be open for grabs at the end of 2024. I feel Abhishek, Kishan, Rinku, Jurel etc will be vying for those spots.
 
Some tight bowling from Ravi Bishnoi, not giving Zimbabwe batters any room, showing why India is mighty and a challenge for Zimbabwe
 
Ravi Bishnoi pulled off a brilliant catch to leave both fans and experts stunned during the third T20I encounter against Zimbabwe

The new spider-man of India?

What happened to him?

He used to spin the ball quite well, but now just slides it.

My assumption is now he just tries to rush in his overs instead of slowing things dont to get more control on his grip.

Their is a big gap between his u19 days and what he is today.
 
Brilliant spell of 3/26 (4 overs) by Ravi Bishnoi, the new team India wicket-taker in T20I cricket

Lol he copies Boom Boom Afridi's style of celebration

I am hoping someone with more guile comes along to partner Kuldeep. Bishnoi is alright but also limited. Axar and Kuldeep will continue being spin mainstays in all formats for the time being.
 
To be fair this thread is old and Bishnoi > Chahal however axar patel and Kuldeep shuts the door on Ravi when it comes to playing icc tournaments.

Na not axar. Axar losing his spin as he comes more side on, and I really dont see him making it that big in international.

Meanwhile the third spinner india played today, priyag was it? He got some good turn with his offies. Looks like a good prospect.

But i feel bad for Bishnoi. He might have taken wickets, but with no turn in his bowling, his ceiling will be limited. Was a great prospect back in u19

I heard in his U19 days he was a better bowler.

Sad to see such a lapse in form.

Ravi Bishnoi at the post-match press conference:

“I am not worried about not completing the hat-trick. It is just a part of the game. It feels good to put in a good performance and help the team to a win.”

“I have a good bond with him [Gambhir] as I have worked with him in Lucknow Super Giants. He hasn’t asked me to change much. He just told me to keep doing what I do best. His guidance was working back then and it is working now too.”

“He [Suryakumar Yadav] has been captaining well. I have already played under him during the Australia series. He is a captain who backs the bowlers. For a bowler, there is nothing better than having such a captain.”
 
Credit to Kuldeep because that guy not only came back from bad form but from a mental point of view also he came from a very low point to once again be the world beater.

He should be an inspiration to Chahal, Bishnoi and all on what needs to be done to get to that level. Representing Bharat in tournaments is no joke unless you qualify for the PM World Cup Khilao Yojna.
 
Ravi Bishnoi becomes the joint 2nd fastest to 50 wickets for India in T20Is

Fastest to 50 wickets for India in T20Is

29 inns - Kuldeep Yadav
33 inns - Arshdeep Singh
33 inns - Ravi Bishnoi
34 inns - Yauzvendra Chahal
 
Bishnoi needs to come in along with Kuldeep if Axar isn’t playing.
Axar has improved a lot but is prone to failures.
 
Bishnoi is a good bowler. I like his aggression and he has been in good form.
