India was in control of the game against England till Ravi Bishnoi came into the attack in the 17th over of the innings. The leg-spinner bowled a couple of backfoot noballs and ended up conceding 29 runs in a single over, which changed the momentum in the game. England came back into the contest and eventually won an improbable game by four wickets.

“I mean, I feel that once batters get used to Ravi Bishnoi, it becomes easier to face him. He bowls at almost 100 km/h, and at that pace, his leg-spin doesn’t turn a great deal. Most of the time, it’s either a topspinner or he’s trying something different, but eventually there’s a certain pace to his bowling. He also bowls the googly, but it seems that batters have started to figure out how to play him,” Jaffer said on his YouTube channel.
