India won against Sri Lanka in the second T20 cricket match of the series, making it impossible for Sri Lanka to catch up as India now leads 2-0. Ravi Bishnoi was chosen as the best player of the match for his impressive performance of 3 wickets for 26 runs in Pallekele. His efforts helped India limit Sri Lanka to only 161 runs, which India then easily achieved in the rain-affected game. The 23-year-old player turned the game around for India by getting Pathum Nissanka out, who was playing very well.
Bishnoi also got Dasun Shanaka and Wanindu Hasaranga out one after another, causing Sri Lanka to struggle towards the end of the game. Thanks to his great performance, Sri Lanka could only score 161 runs with 9 wickets down in their 20 overs.
After the game, Bishnoi and the fast bowler Arshdeep Singh had some funny conversation. Arshdeep mentioned that Bishnoi is always rushing in everything he does.
“Bishnoi is always in a rush. He eats his lunch fast, and as soon as he finishes eating, he rushes back to his hotel room. Because he does everything quickly, he also took three wickets fast,” Arshdeep Singh explained.
“Yes, that’s why my bowling run-up is also fast. I’ve had this habit since I was a kid. Because of this, I get hungry fast and then eat fast too. I’m trying to change this habit, but I haven’t been successful yet,” Bishnoi commented.
In the 31 Twenty20 International matches he has played, Bishnoi has taken 46 wickets with an average of 18.95 and an economy rate of 7.22. He recently achieved the best performance of his career by taking 4 wickets for 13 runs in the first T20I match against Zimbabwe. India is leading the series 2-0 and is looking to win all three matches. They will play the last T20I on Tuesday, July 30 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele.
