The India Cricket Team will be back in action against Bangladesh in the IND vs BAN 2nd T20I in Delhi. While Team India won the first game by a huge margin, Gautam Gambhir’s side will be keen to wrap things up in style. While the team remains set, the dry and dusty conditions in Delhi can force Team India to go with an offset strategy in playing 3 spinners. Can Ravi Bishnoi weave his magic in the capital after he did so earlier this year against Afghanistan?
The Delhi pitch is notoriously known to favor the batters. However, stats have shown that teams chasing second have a great chance of winning the encounter. And the dusty and dry conditions will work well in favor of the spinners. Back in Gwalior Varun Chakravarthy spun his magic by scalping 3-wickets. And should India go for a 3 spinner approach, then Ravi Bishnoi is a great choice for the team.
Can Bishnoi replicate his Afghanistan heroics?
Who can forget the tantalizing IND vs AFG T20I clash in Delhi the last time? Rohit Sharma hammered his fifth T20I ton and Ravi Bishnoi sealed the game for India in the second super over. Washington Sundar and Varun Chakravarthy will get their chance in the team after playing well in the first encounter.
And now the inclusion of Bishnoi means, Nitish Reddy will have to slot into the bench. Furthermore, the addition of a third spinner in the team means, Harshit Rana will likely have to wait for his debut. Under these circumstances, India will go with Arshdeep Singh, Mayank Yadav, and Hardik Pandya as the triple pacer option.
Ravi Bishnoi’s heroics in the superover helped him move up in the ICC Rankings. Eventually, he went on to claim the World Number 1 bowler spot in the shortest format of the game. While the leggie was rested in the previous game, it remains to be seen if he can replicate his antics this time in Delhi.
