T20 World Cup 2024: 'He is a better fielder', says Sunil Gavaskar as he picks THIS spinner instead of Kuldeep Yadav

"Ravi Bishnoi for me because apart from bowling, he is a very good fielder. He is a better fielder than Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal," Hindustan Times quoted Gavaskar telling the Star Sports.
The former Indian skipper also asserted that Bishnoi could also chip in crucial cameos with the willow as a lower-order batter for Team India. "He can bat as well, the way he applied his brains and won his side the match with his calmness in the last IPL," He continued. "I feel he and Avesh Khan had won their side the match against RCB.
So Ravi Bishnoi for me," Gavaskar added. Comparing Kuldeep with Bisnoi, the latter has picked up 34 wickets in 21 matches for the 2007 world champions. While senior spinner Kuldeep has 58 wickets to his name in 34 T20Is.
Also, Bishnoi was instrumental in India's series win over Australia after the World Cup and was named the Player of the Series at the time. Meanwhile, Kuldeep bagged 15 wickets for India at the 2023 World Cup. So choosing between the two spinners would be a tough task, considering India would most likely not drop the world's top all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.Milestone Alert!
