‘He should have got Rs 10-11 crore’: Former Indian cricketer calls RR star ‘stolen’ after heroics cricket news
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra Ravi Bishnoi praised for his decisive spell Rajasthan Royals‘A narrow six-run win over Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026. He also commented that the leg spinner was undervalued in the auction and deserved a much higher price.Chasing 211 in Ahmedabad on 4 April, Gujarat failed largely due to the impact of Bishnoi’s ball. The wrist spinner returned figures of 4/41 from his four overs, tilting the game in Rajasthan’s favor at crucial moments.Speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra reflected on Bishnoi’s value and performance.“Ravi Bishnoi, we were talking at the time of the auction that he was sold very cheaply – seven crores cheaper. He should have got Rs 10-11 crores. He was a great acquisition for Rs 7 crore. He took four wickets and made the difference in the end as all the important wickets were his name.”Chopra also gave special praise Tushar DeshpandeWho came under pressure in the last over and won the game.He said, “Tushar Deshpande came into the team and Brijesh Sharma was not in the team, and what a change in the end because Tushar Deshpande was standing between victory and defeat. Tushar Deshpande executed those yorkers beautifully. Thumbs up with both hands to execute under pressure.”Deshpande finished with figures of 1/24 from three overs and remained patient in the final over, conceding only four runs while dismissing Rashid Khan when Gujarat needed 11 runs from six balls.Earlier in the innings, Dhruv Jurel played a brilliant inning and scored 75 runs in 42 balls to lead Rajasthan’s innings. Chopra praised his maturity, especially after being promoted to the upper order this season.“Earlier, Dhruv Jurel. They took a big decision to make him bat at No. 3 this season, and he was absolutely brilliant. He batted almost till the end. He scored his first Test century on this very ground. Very nice guy. I love him a lot. I feel very happy when he does well. Then his two openers. In my opinion, Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal The most explosive opening batsman in this league,” he said.Along with Jurel, Vaibhav Suryavanshi (31 off 18) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (55 off 36) provided Rajasthan a strong start at the top.Chopra, on the other hand, pointed out shortcomings in Gujarat’s chase and suggested that better planning could have changed the outcome.Chopra said, “GT, this match was yours. There were problems with the batting. Shubman Gill’s injury certainly didn’t help, but wickets kept falling at regular intervals. I thought it was a bit of a haphazard chase. If you had executed it a little better, you could have won this game.”
