The 21-year-old took some time to settle and calm himself down.
Ravi Bishnoi attracted a lot of attention with his impressive performance on his international debut during the 1st T20I against West Indies in Kolkata on Wednesday. However, the 21-year-old took some time to settle and calm himself down. Since he was nervous, he made a couple of wide deliveries and stepped on the rope after grabbing a catch on the boundary. But once he got hold of his emotions, he went on to give an impressive performance.
Bishnoi admitted that he was pretty nervous in the beginning.
“I was a bit nervous and excited. The nerves are settled now. I was feeling very good, it’s everyone’s dream to play for India and I was feeling good.” he said.

“There wasn’t much dew in our innings. I haven’t played a match with a lot of dew so far, but it does affect you. Although we do practice with a wet ball, I was happy with how I was able to bowl and pick a few wickets,” concluded Ravi.
