"Only his body turns, the ball never": Ex-chief selector trolls Ravi Bishnoi after costly Asian Games final spell

Following India's gold medal triumph at the Asian Games by defeating Pakistan by 19 runs in the final match, former chief selector Kris Srikkanth criticized leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi for an expensive bowling spell that conceded 44 runs across three wicketless overs. Srikkanth publicly mocked the bowler's technique on his YouTube channel, arguing that his body rotated without imparting any meaningful turn on a favorable surface and suggesting he should be dropped from the squad.

During the title clash, Abhishek Sharma anchored the early innings with 61 runs, followed by a rapid 51 off 22 balls from Tilak Varma and 27 from Shivam Dube to set a total of 211. Despite Pakistan's chase being anchored by Hasan Nawaz's 96-run knock, India successfully defended their target to secure the tournament victory.
