Kings XI Punjab's INR 2 crore buy Ravi Bishnoi wants to learn under the guidance of coach Anil Kumble during his stint in IPL 2020. Bishnoi ended the U19 World Cup as the highest wicket-taker with 17 wickets in six games.

Bishnoi expressed his excitement of playing under the mentorship of Kumble and is looking forward to learning the flipper which helped Kumble claim a host of wickets during his playing days. Bishnoi revealed that he used to watch videos of Shane Warne and Anil Kumble while growing up and how he changed from a medium-pacer to a leg-spinner.

"Whenever I start an over, I always want to bowl every single delivery at the stumps... Bowling on the off and middle stumps has worked a lot for me. Apart from that, leg-spin and googlies are my main weapons, especially googlies. I bowl at least one google in six deliveries I bowl in an over. The google has many a time given me success. This is the art I have learnt from Shane Warne and Anil Kumble sir."

"I have always admired Shane Warne and Anil Kumble sir. I have watched Kumble sir's bowling videos. He is a God gifted bowler and an amazing spinner. If you watch his bowling, you will notice that he has always bowled his deliveries at the stumps. The best part of his bowling was his speed with the spin."

"The one thing I will request him is to teach me is the art of bowling the flipper... After the World Cup, the target is to perform well for KXIP in IPL. There have been cricketers who got a chance in the Indian team after performing magnificently in the IPL. My ultimate dream is to play for India (senior team)."
