IPL 2021 – MI vs PBKS: Punjab Kings lost their big battle against Mumbai Indians but their spinner Ravi Bishnoi won his mini-battle against MI’s SuryaKumar Yadav. Surya known as SKY is struggling big this time in IPL 2021 and his misery was prolonged as Bishnoi bowled him on his very first delivery.
“In both the matches, I kept it simple, I bowled wicket-to-wicket. The ball I bowled to Suryakumar, I knew it was his first ball so I bowled a googly. It is difficult to play googly first up. I have worked on my googly,” declared Bishnoi.
