India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi came under scrutiny for his spell as the Men in Blue lost the second T20I of the five-match series against England. The clash was played at the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester on Saturday, July 4.

Chasing 191, England’s Jacob Bethell top-scored with an unbeaten 76 off 46 balls, hitting five fours and as many sixes, as the hosts secured a four-wicket victory with an over to spare. For the Men in Blue, Bishnoi endured a disappointing outing, bowling three back-foot no-balls and conceding 60 runs in his four-over spell. In the process, he leaked 29 runs in the 17th over of the innings, which all but took the game away from the visitors.

As Bishnoi endured a disappointing outing, here we look at the five worst bowling figures by an Indian bowler in a T20I match.

#5 Ravi Bishnoi (0/60)

At No. 5 on the list is Ravi Bishnoi, who registered one of the most expensive bowling spells by an Indian bowler in T20Is. The leg-spinner conceded 31 runs in his first three overs during the match against England in Manchester on July 4. He returned to bowl the 17th over with England needing 49 runs from the last four overs.

Jacob Bethell then took Bishnoi apart, smashing three sixes and a four in an over that cost 29 runs. The leg-spinner eventually finished with figures of 0/60 from his four overs as England sealed a four-wicket win with six balls to spare while chasing 191.
