Ravi Bishnoi

India leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, who came in for high praise from skipper Rohit Sharma for his superb bowling that helped the hosts win the first T20I against West Indies, said winning the Man of the Match award on debut was a dream come true for him.

Bishnoi, 21, took 2_17 in his four overs to help India restrict West Indies for 157-7 at the Eden Gardens which the hosts chased for the loss of four wickets.

"It's everyone's dream to play for India and I was feeling good. West Indies is one of the best T20I teams and I got the chance to play against them," he said after the match. "I didn't think I would get Man of the Match in my first match, it's a dream come true," added Bishnoi, who represents Rajasthan in the domestic circuit.

Bishnoi, who bowled six wides in his four overs, said he will try to work on his bowling and cut down on the extras. "I'll try to cut down on the wides next match. My strength is my length."
