India spinner Ravi Bishnoi picked 3 wickets in the first chance he got against Bangladesh. Speaking about the team’s mentality with the ball, Bishnoi said that Suryakumar Yadav told the Indian team that they were not defending 300 but 170 runs.
India had hammered 297 against Bangladesh in the first innings of the match, the highest T20I total by any Test-playing nation in the history of the game. However, India were aggressive with the ball in their defence and restricted Bangladesh to just 164 runs.
Saba Karim, commentating for the broadcaster asked Bishnoi what the difference was between this Indian team and the others. Bishnoi replied that the main difference was the aggression and it was clear to see in front of everyone.
“This is the new generation, and you can see what the difference is. 298 runs was the target and look how we attacked and bowled them out for 160s. The approach is when you are on the top, be on the top,” Bishnoi said.
