Indian spinner Ravi Bishnoi heaped massive praise on T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav and vice-captain Shubman Gill for supporting him. Bishnoi produced a stellar show in the second T20I against Sri Lanka.
Following his three-wicket haul, Bishnoi spoke on how Surya and Gill had a major impact on his performance. “Suryakumar is doing great captaincy. I have played under him during the Australia series as well. He has been good. Shubman Gill’s captaincy was also great. In Zimbabwe, we also did great as a captain. They always back me and as a bowler, you cannot ask for anything more than this,” he said at the press conference, as per India Today.

The spinner also added by saying, “He has not asked me to change anything as such. He has told me to do what I am doing currently. His advice was useful to me earlier as well, and now too.”
Ravi Bishnoi put up figures of 3/26 in his four-over spell against Sri Lanka in the second T20I. The Indian spinner’s jaw-dropping performance also won him the Player of the Match award. With India bowling first, Bishnoi played a major role in picking up the first wicket for his side.
