In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Gujarat Titans vice-captain and star leg-spinner Rashid Khan has spoken about the future of Lucknow Super Giants’ young spinner Ravi Bishnoi. Star bowler and former Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan has praised Rajasthan Royals leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for being on top of the list of highest wicket-takers in IPL 2022.
Gujarat Titans reached the finals in their first IPL season this year. Incidentally, Gujarat Titans will face Rajasthan Royals for the title match on 29 May 2022 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It has been a great season for Gujarat Titans. They won 10 out of 14 matches and finished the league stage at the top of the points table.
The team’s leg-spinner Rashid Khan has been one of their star players throughout the season. He performed brilliantly not only with the ball but also with the bat. Rashid has so far taken 18 wickets in 15 innings in the tournament. Apart from this, he also played a match-winning innings of 40 runs in just 22 balls against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Rashid has scored 91 runs in 44 balls so far this season at an impressive strike rate of 206.82.
Naturally, Rashid is one of the key figures of Gujarat Titans. Not only Gujarat Titans but also young bowlers of other teams want to learn something from him. The name of young bowler Ravi Bishnoi of KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants is also included in this list. Ravi Bishnoi is also one of those bowlers who have spoken to Rashid quite a few times. The Afghanistan bowler believes that the 21-year-old Ravi Bishnoi can be a big star for India.
Rashid Khan told cricket.com, ‘Bishnoi is a young talent. I have spoken to him many times. He will prove to be a big star for India in the years to come. If he believes in his skills and continues to do so, he will definitely be a big bowler for India.
The leg-spinner also discussed in detail about Yuzvendra Chahal during the conversation. He insisted that Chahal is one of the best leg-spinners. “Definitely, the way he has performed for RCB and India, he is the best spinner. He bowled tough overs for India and RCB, which is very difficult. He has played most of the matches in Bangalore, which is a small ground and there he showed his skills brilliantly. Let us tell you that Yuzvendra Chahal was a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore before IPL 2022.
