Xtra Time Web Desk: India wrist-spinner Ravi Bishnoi revealed his plans to counter Liam Livingstone in the second T20I against England at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Saturday, January 25.
After having a thriller victory over England, Bishnoi reflected on it as he stated, "Today only I posted a reel on Instagram, saying why should batters have all the fun.
