Ravi Bishnoi, riding high on his recent success as the Man of the Series against Australia. His exceptional performance in the recently concluded T20I series against Aussies had not only put him to the top of the T20I bowler rankings but had also set the stage for him to be a sure short selection in Indian bowling line-up.

Indian team have gone with the experienced spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja over the young leg-spinner. While both Yadav and Jadeja have proven themselves on numerous occasions, Bishnoi’s recent form has seemingly made him the frontrunner in the spin department.
