Manvinder Bisla yet to find a Ranji team for next season – Cricket News Update
Kolkata Knight Riders’ star of the IPL-5 final, Manvinder Bisla, has revealed that he still does not have a Ranji team to play for in the next season.
"Yes, I still don't have a first-class team whom I will be representing in the next domestic season," a candid Bisla told the media persons on the sidelines of an unofficial cricket tournament, the Lala Raghubir Hot Weather tournament, where the Haryana
boy was playing for his employers, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Air-India-c762.
The 27-year-old little known Haryana batsman shot into the limelight after he played an audacious knock of 89 runs, from just 48 balls, in the Indian Premier League final against Chennai Super Kings, at Chennai last month. Bisla’s pugnacious knock set a
platform for Knight Riders to chase down an intimidating target of 191 and claim their maiden IPL title, after struggling in the first four seasons.
The wicketkeeper batsman, who has so far played 41 first class matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Himachal-Pradesh-c791, told the media reporters that he had talked to the top officials of some of the state associations, but is still waiting for a call.
When asked if it was surprising that the hero of IPL final is desperately awaiting a call-up instead of being flooded with offers, Bisla replied with a smile, “What can you do if the situation is such."
One realistic reason behind state teams' reluctance in signing Bisla could be his poor average with the bat in four-day cricket. The right-handed wicketkeeper batsman has just 1827 first-class runs in his name from 68 innings, at an average of 29.
Quizzed about his not so impressive domestic average and the inevitable comparisons drawn between him and yesteryear IPL heroes like Gony and Valthaty, Bisla said, "Well, each and every cricketer have their ups and downs. It's unfair to say that Valthaty
or Gony are one-season wonders.”
“A player will have his share of difficult times but one needs to forget that and move on. The moment http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kumar-Shri-Ranjitsinhji-c71870 Trophy season starts, the focus will be different from T20," the right-hander concluded.
