Ravi Bishnoi was once India’s top T20 spinner and held the No.1 spot in ICC’s T20 bowling charts in December 2023. He also led the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023 with 16 wickets at an economy of 7.74. However, his form declined over the next two years, leading to his release from LSG in IPL 2026.
Despite his struggles, Bishnoi was picked up by Rajasthan Royals for Rs. 7.2 crore at the auction. Under the guidance of head coach Kumar Sangakkara, Bishnoi has found a new beginning with the Royals and has become a key spin threat for the team.
In IPL 2026, Bishnoi has improved his control over his bowling lengths, focusing on hitting the right areas to make it difficult for batsmen. He has made technical changes to his action, including a higher release point, which has contributed to his success in the ongoing season.
Sangakkara credits Bishnoi for his hard work and determination in making a comeback. The spin coach, Richard Das Neves, has also played a role in Bishnoi’s development. As Bishnoi continues to perform well for the Royals, Sangakkara urges him to maintain his form and keep up the good work.
Bishnoi’s resurgence in IPL 2026 has been a result of his dedication and improved bowling techniques, making him a valuable asset for the Rajasthan Royals. Published on Apr 25, 2026.
