Ravi Bishnoi, Team India’s leg-spinner, is more concerned about fielding in the cold than bowling in Mohali ahead of the first T20I against Afghanistan on Thursday, January 11.
At the height of the winter season, fog has engulfed most of northern India.
The team’s practice sessions at the Punjab Cricket Association’s IS Bindra Stadium were hindered by low visibility and hoodies, jackets, and warmers.
I’m more afraid of fielding in the cold than I am of bowling in these conditions. Bishnoi told pSports18 that once you drop one, it’s over.
Because of the low height of the floodlights, fielding is a little difficult here. You must keep this in mind, and you must train before the contest.
Although Bishnoi played for the Mohali-based Punjab Kings from 2020 to 21, he has only played one IPL match in the stadium.
And it was against the Kings in IPL 2023 for the Lucknow Super Giants, where he had statistics of 2/41 in four overs.
There is some strain when the captain has so much faith in you – Ravi Bishnoi
Bishnoi has gradually evolved into India’s premier leg-spinner in the shortest format, owing to Yuzvendra Chahal’s slump in form and Kuldeep Yadav’s delay in making an ODI-like recovery in T20Is. That brings pressure.
Yes, there is some pressure when the captain has so much faith in you. But it all comes down to trusting yourself.
The captain believes in you, and you must believe in yourself as well.
So, he remarked, practice in the nets and preparation based on match scenarios assist.
Bishnoi’s bowling is predicated on keeping it flat and tight, but he’s striving to broaden his arsenal.
Without a doubt. I recall having a conversation with you about pace, Pragyan Ojha.
Even in the Ranji Trophy, I tried to give the ball some air. I attempted it with the red ball.
T20Is, on the other hand, are a fast-paced game with little time to alter.
I did, however, practice with the red ball. He hopes it will come in handy for him in T20I cricket.
