“Bishnoi is a very talented guy which is why we drafted him into the squad straightaway. We see something different in him,” Rohit said of the bowler.
“He’s got lot of variations and skill-set with him. He can bowl at any stage and it gives us a lot of options to rotate the other bowlers. He’s got a bright future and it’s just about us now on how we use him.”
