JAIPUR: It has been two years since the lean, diminutive boy from Jodhpur, Ravi Bishnoi, had everybody talking about him after his exploits at the 2020 Under-19 World Cup. While the leg-spinner left many cricket experts ‘very impressed’, some termed him a ‘wizard’. But even before the entire cricket fraternity took notice of him at the world stage during the junior event in January 2020, IPL scouts had their eyes set on Bishnoi’s raw talent.
What followed next? A bidding war in December 2019 at the 2020 IPL auction table between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, before the latter snapped the youngster for Rs 2 crore against his base price of Rs 20 lakh.
