- Ravi Bishnoi was bought by Punjab Kings (PBKS) for INR 2 crore in the IPL 2020 auction after finishing as the highest wicket-taker in the Under-19 World Cup that year.

- A legspinner who is generous with dishing out googlies, Bishnoi picked up 12 wickets in each of his first two seasons in the IPL, standing out despite PBKS' struggles.

- His performances led to a T20I debut for India in February 2022. That year, new franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) signed him for INR 4 crore as one of their pre-auction picks along with his KL Rahul.

- Bishnoi took 13 wickets in his first season for LSG, playing a big part as they made the playoffs.

- In his second season with LSG, when the IPL went back to the home-away format, Bishnoi became a key player on the spin-friendly surfaces in Lucknow - he picked up 16 wickets as LSG made it to the playoffs again.
