Ranji Trophy: Ravi Bishnoi: During a match in the Ranji Trophy Ravi Bishnoi got injured, soon after which Team Gujarat instead of adding a field spinner who would have been in the same category as Ravi Bishnoi, added a bowling all-rounder Hemang Patel as his replacement.
After this decision, Jalaj Saxena of Kerala was angry with this decision in Gujarat. In this article at Breaking Buddy, you will get to know all the details for this ruckus in the match.
Ranji Trophy’s first semi-final is being played between Gujarat and Kerala at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Regarding Ravi Bishnoi’s concussion replacement, there was a ruckus in the match.
Ravi Bishnoi(Ranji Trophy: Ravi Bishnoi) accidentally got injured during the match, after this Gujarat added a bowling all-rounder instead of the field spinner – Hemang Patel as his replacement. Jalaj Saxena of Kerala was not in a good state after seeing this decision.
Firstly Kerala batted in the match and put a score of 457 on board, and once the Gujarat team came to bat on Wednesday, they informed Kerala regarding the Bishnoi’s replacement. Bishnoi was hurt on his face during the match in which his nose started bleeding while fielding, making him leave the field at that moment.
As soon as Hemang (Bishnoi’s replacement) came to bat Kerala got a shock, as he came to bat on number 5 leaving behind the team’s top scorer Jaimeet Patel and captain Chintan Gaja. Kerala was only adjusting to the fact that Gujarat picked a rounder instead of the spinner, but when Hemag came to bat at number 5 they got angry.
The reason for that is Bishnoi bat’s at number 10 or 11 and seeing Hemang coming on 5 was not what Kerala had expected.
This led to an argument between the Umpire and Jalaj Saxena on the field about Hemang coming at number 5 creating a ruckus in the match.
Jalaj Saxena said to the Umpire, ” Ravi Bishnoi is a bowler who usually bats at number 9 or 10 for the team. After that as a concussion player, you are getting a player who is a really good batter who is sent to bat at number 5. It is unfair for us and that’s what I was telling Umpire. At least, if you have taken a batsman in Bishnoi’s place then make him play at number 11.”
However, the replacement player Hemang could not play a big inning and got dismissed at 27 runs off 41 balls. By the end of the 4th day, Gujarat was on score 429 runs with the loss of 7 wickets, and there were still 28 runs left to win the match.(Ranji Trophy: Ravi Bishnoi)
