The T20 format requires adaptable spin bowlers who are wicket and venue agnostic. The player influencing destructive impact using short quota with a consistency becomes the favourite player of the game.
The ask from the favourite player is not limited to giving away less runs but be lethal all the time puzzling the batter, intimidating batter to make feel stiff hands and feet movement. The big guns even Dhoni have a
Choreographic (feet and body move together) intimidation(a fan’s reflection) against lethal spin bowlers.
Ravi Bishnoi, 21 years from Rajasthan who received the cap of Team India recently has the ability to mould himself into the category of elite T20 spinners. The average stat from two T20I matches is 15 which doesn’t talk volume but his overall T20 average of 21 does portray a spin choreographer in making. His bowling style can be compared to Rashid Khan. Mayank Markande is another potential bowler.
The similarity between Bishnoi, Markande and Rashid Khan is they are legbreak googly bowlers.
If you have played gully cricket, you might have come across a spin bowler who excels with smart bowling than being a traditional bowler but always considered as second fiddle. In the modern T20 format, there is a place for such smart bowlers.
