Murali Kartik on Ravi Bishnoi No-ball: In the second T20 match against England, Team India had to face defeat by 4 wickets at the hands of England. in this match Leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi Proved to be quite expensive. He gave 60 runs in 4 overs, which also included 29 runs wasted in one over. In this over, Bishnoi bowled 2 back-foot no-balls, which proved to be very costly for India. Former spinner Murali Karthik says that the problem is not in Bishnoi’s bowling action, but in his run-up.

Speaking to news agency PTI, Karthik said that Bishnoi’s current semi-circular (C-shaped) run-up changes his body alignment. For this reason, while bowling the ball, his back foot repeatedly touches the return crease and the back-foot becomes a no-ball.

Did the run-up upset the balance?

According to Karthik, Bishnoi has been changing his run-up in the last few years. Even during the IPL, his run-up appeared quite winding. Due to this change his balance and alignment is being affected during bowling. He said that this problem is not related to the bowling action, hence there is no need to change the entire action. If Bishnoi adopts a short and controlled C-shaped run-up like before, this problem can be eliminated to a great extent.
