[Watch] Ravi Bishnoi takes a blinder to dismiss Zimbabwe's Brian Bennett in IND vs ZIM 3rd T20I
Ravi Bishnoi used his acrobatic skills to take a blinder of a catch in the third T20I between India and Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club on Wednesday, July 10. The leg-spinner jumped to perfection to see the back of Brian Bennett, who departed cheaply to leave the hosts in a spot of bother at 19-3 after 3.1 overs.
Avesh Khan bowled a short-length ball and Bennett used the width to power it toward the backward point. Bishnoi was stationed there and leaped to grab the sharp catch with both hands before falling to the ground.

Ravi Bishnoi had earlier impressed with his exceptional bowling performance in the first two T20Is by returning with figures of 4/13 and 2/11, respectively. The 23-year-old also completed his 150 wickets in T20s during his last outing.
