Ravi Bishnoi IND vs ENG T20: India's hopes of taking an early lead in the five-match T20I series ended in disappointment after England successfully chased down 190 in the second match, with Ravi Bishnoi enduring a forgettable outing that resulted in an unwanted record. The leg-spinner struggled at a crucial stage of England's innings, bowling three no-balls during the contest. Two of those errors came in the same over, allowing England to seize control of the chase through Jacob Bethell.

Bishnoi's Expensive Over Turns the Match

With his three no balls, Ravi Bishnoi became the first bowler from an ICC full-member nation to deliver three no-balls in a men's T20I. 

England had found themselves under pressure early after losing both openers in the opening over to slip to 1/2. However, Harry Brook launched a brisk counterattack to halt India's momentum before Jacob Bethell and Tom Banton combined to rebuild the innings with a vital partnership.

The decisive moment arrived in the 17th over when Ravi Bishnoi's costly mistakes handed England a significant advantage.

With the visitors requiring 49 runs from the final four overs, the leg-spinner overstepped twice in the over, giving Bethell two free hits.

The England batsman made the most of the opportunity, clearing the ropes three times during the over, including two maximums from the free-hit deliveries.

England collected 29 runs from the over, dramatically swinging the contest in the hosts' favour.

India Continue Winless Run Under Shreyas Iyer

India's total of 190 ultimately proved insufficient as England completed the chase to level the series.

The defeat also extended India's difficult run in the format. The side has now gone four consecutive T20Is without a victory, including one match that ended without a result.

It also means Shreyas Iyer is still searching for his first win as India's T20I captain after succeeding the highly successful Suryakumar Yadav.
