IND vs SL: Watch - Ravi Bishnoi Castles Janith Liyanage In His 1st Over In 3rd T20I

Indian leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi uprooted the stumps of Janith Liyanage in the third and final T20I against Sri Lanka ongoing in Dharamshala on Sunday.

Bishnoi was brought into the playing XI for the third game in place of Yuzvendra Chahal. The series was already secured after India won the first two games quite comfortably.

Rohit Sharma was keen on giving the untested players an opportunity and they made four changes. One of them, Bishnoi, had an impact in his very first over. Prior to the Lankans, the West Indies players were unable to read Bishnoi’s googlies.

It was the same case with Liyanage as well. He was already struggling in his innings having scored 9 in 18 deliveries. He received a tossed-up delivery outside the off-stump and he attempted to defend onto the on-side.

However, the ball turned in and took the inside edge to ricochet onto the stumps. It was a painful knock and Liyanage was finally put out of his misery. Sri Lanka sunk further as they found themselves at 29/4 in the 9th over.

Apart from Bishnoi, India brought Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan, and Kuldeep Yadav into the side. They rested Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, while Ishan Kishan was ruled out ahead of the game due to precautionary measures after suffering a concussion yesterday.
