**Jaipur, India** – Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) assistant coach Lance Klusener expressed confidence in leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi ahead of their crucial match against Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur. Bishnoi, initially struggling for form, has shown significant improvement, taking eight wickets in seven matches after a slow start to IPL 2025.
Klusener attributed Bishnoi’s resurgence to his growing confidence throughout the tournament. While acknowledging the challenges of managing overs for spinners, particularly with Markram also contributing spin bowling, Klusener highlighted Bishnoi’s strong performance in recent games. He emphasized the team’s high expectations for Bishnoi playing in his hometown.
“He’s been going from strength to strength,” Klusener stated. “He had a slow start, but he’s gotten better. We expect a big performance from him in Jaipur.”
Despite LSG’s current 2-5 record, Klusener dismissed past results, viewing the Jaipur match as a 50-50 contest. He stressed that every game presents unique challenges and that LSG will not underestimate Rajasthan Royals. “Tomorrow is a new day, a new game,” he added. “It’s 50-50 tomorrow.”
