Ravi Bishnoi’s journey back to the Indian cricket team has been challenging, with loss of form, release from Lucknow Super Giants, and long spells away from international cricket testing his confidence. But in the third T20I against New Zealand in Raipur, Bishnoi reminded fans why he once topped the ICC T20I bowling rankings.
Bowling 4 tight overs for 2 wickets and 18 runs, Bishnoi controlled the middle overs, complementing early strikes from Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. His comeback was the result of months of focused rebuilding in domestic cricket, honing consistency and line-and-length skills. With Washington Sundar unavailable, Bishnoi seized the rare opportunity to perform, reasserting himself as a crucial white-ball prospect for India.
