Star spinner Ravi Bishnoi has returned to Team India after almost a year. He has been made a part of Team India for the T20 series against New Zealand. Bishnoi’s entry came as a replacement for Washington Sundar, who was out of the series due to injury. Now the question is arising whether Ravi Bishnoi will get a chance in the first T20 of the series? The first match will be played on Wednesday (January 21).
Let us tell you that the spinner last played T20 for Team India in February 2025. The sudden inclusion of Bishnoi in Team India could also be an indication that he might get a chance in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2026.
Will you get a chance in the first T20 against New Zealand?
If the team management is looking at Bishnoi from the T20 World Cup perspective, then he may get a chance in the first T20 against New Zealand as this is the last T20 series for the Men in Blue before the World Cup. In this series, maximum opportunities will be given to those players who are part of the World Cup squad, so that the players can get match practice.
Might get a chance to replace Washington Sundar
Sundar has been made a part of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. If he is not fit for the upcoming T20 World Cup, then like in the New Zealand T20 series, Bishnoi can be made a part of the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. On the other hand, all countries have permission to make changes to their squads till January 31. In such a situation, Bishnoi can also be directly made a part of the World Cup team.
