Emerging talent Ravi Bishnoi has rapidly become a formidable presence in T20I cricket, boasting an impressive track record. In the recently concluded T20I series against Australia, the 23-year-old leg-spinner showcased his prowess by claiming nine wickets in five matches, securing the top spot as the leading wicket-taker. This stellar performance propelled Bishnoi to the coveted position of the number one ranked bowler in T20I cricket.
Expressing his elation at this unexpected achievement, Bishnoi revealed that he never envisioned becoming the number one bowler. In a video released by the Indian Cricket Team on Instagram, he described the feeling as “out-of-the-world” and expressed his determination to maintain the momentum, contributing to the team’s success in the upcoming challenges, particularly in South Africa.
