South Africa will throw different pitches: Ravi Bishnoi

After the five-match series, Bishnoi was adjudged Player of the Series. He said that he would face different challenges in the Rainbow Nation but will try to attack.

“The first match wasn’t that great so I just wanted to execute my plans, which I did in the other games. My plan is simple – bowling stump to stump works, just short of length works, pitching it up can be hit. I wanted to be a typical legspinner by bringing the long-on up. South Africa will throw different pitches so but I’ll try to attack there too,” Bishnoi said after being adjudged as the Player of the Series.
