In a heartwarming development for Rajasthan cricket fans, leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi has expressed his excitement at returning to his home state franchise Rajasthan Royals ahead of the upcoming 2026 IPL season. The move has generated buzz not only because of Bishnoi’s growing reputation as a dependable T20 bowler but also due to the possibility of him forming a strong spin partnership with experienced all rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
Bishnoi, who hails from Rajasthan, has steadily built his name in Indian T20 cricket through consistent performances and fearless bowling in pressure situations. His return to the Royals is being seen as a homecoming that carries both emotional and professional significance. Acquired for around 7.2 crore rupees at the recent IPL mini auction, the franchise clearly views him as a long term investment and a key part of their bowling plans.
Speaking about the move, Bishnoi shared that playing for his home team brings a special sense of pride and responsibility. He said that the opportunity to bowl alongside Ravindra Jadeja is something he truly values. According to Bishnoi, Jadeja’s vast experience across formats will be a major learning opportunity, especially while playing on familiar Jaipur surfaces that often assist spin bowlers.
From a tactical point of view, the combination of Bishnoi and Jadeja could prove crucial for Rajasthan in the upcoming season. Bishnoi’s attacking leg breaks and sharp googlies give the team wicket taking options in the middle overs, while Jadeja’s accuracy and control help restrict runs and build pressure. Together, they offer a balanced spin attack capable of changing the course of matches.
For Bishnoi, this move also marks a personal milestone. After spending multiple seasons with Lucknow Super Giants, returning to Rajasthan allows him to reconnect with his roots and perform in front of fans who have supported him since his early days. His strong record in international T20 matches shows that he can handle expectations and deliver under pressure.
With strong home crowd support, guidance from senior players, and clear team planning, Rajasthan’s spin department is already being tipped as one of the most exciting to watch in the 2026 IPL season. Whether this much talked about spin duo lives up to expectations will unfold once the tournament begins.
