Veteran commentator Aakash Chopra added that the Indian team management is treating Ravi Bishnoi unfairly. He said that the wrist-spinner is always left out to accommodate other players as well. Team India played Varun Chakaravarthy before Ravi Bishnoi in the first T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior on Sunday, October 6 as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra said, “I feel he is not being treated fairly because if you see the list of players who have done well for India since he started playing, you will find that Ravi Bishnoi’s performances have been very good. Arshdeep (Singh) is at No. 1 but Ravi Bishnoi is not too far behind. Then as soon as someone needs to be dropped, you drop him. To be fair, we are not fair on any leg-spinner. We haven’t played Yuzi (Yuzvendra) Chahal in any World Cup to date. You don’t play him even if he is in the team. Similarly, we are not playing Ravi Bishnoi although he has been consistently doing well.”

In the same video, Aakash Chopra also questioned what reasoning might have been given to Ravi Bishnoi for playing Varun Chakaravarthy
ahead of him.

“Here also, when there was a chance, Varun (Chakaravarthy) played first and Bishnoi didn’t. I do get it that I was saying that Varun should be played. If you get someone after three years, he should be played. But if you do that, what would you be telling Ravi Bishnoi? The selection is not only for the 15. You also have it for the XI after that. If you have selected someone in the 15, you say you have to play him for justice, but one man’s loss is another man’s opportunity. If only one guy keeps bearing the loss, he would ask why me,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
