Avesh Khan applauds Ravi Bishnoi's stunning catch: 'Wicket mera hai, khate mein uske jaana chahiye'

India pacer Avesh Khan showered special praise on spinner Ravi Bishnoi for his spectacular fielding effort, which became a highlight of India's victory in the 3rd T20I against Zimbabwe.

In the ongoing five-match T20I series, India bounced back to secure a 2-1 lead with a 23-run win in the third match.

While defending a total of 182, Bishnoi's fielding brilliance helped reduce Zimbabwe to 19/3 during the powerplay.


Brian Bennett attempted a powerful cut shot but failed to clear the 30-yard circle. Bishnoi leapt into the air and took a stunning reaction catch, leaving Bennett with a wry smile.

Avesh Khan, in a video posted by BCCI on X, praised the 23-year-old for his efforts, saying, "We were shocked. He is a good fielder and works on his fielding. I got the wicket, but it should go in his tally (Wicket mera ha khaate me uske jaana chahiye)."


Rinku Singh also acknowledged Bishnoi's remarkable catch but mentioned that he believes he has taken even better catches in his career.

"He has caught better catches than that. It was an outstanding catch," Rinku said.

India captain Shubman Gill heaped praise on the young spinner and said, "It was delightful to watch. Very happy with the team's win. The catch that Bishi (Bishnoi) took was absolutely remarkable. Cricket is a team sport. It is very important to have fun when you are fielding, and if you are having fun, then you are always in the game."

Despite a late surge from Dion Myers, the asking rate proved to be much of a challenge for the hosts. India went ahead in the series with a 23-run win.

After facing a setback in the series opener, India dominated Zimbabwe in all facets of the game in the second and the third T20I.

India will be keen to clinch the series in the 4th T20I, which will be played on Saturday at the Harare Sports Club.
