19 years and 157 days old Ravi Bishnoi not only bagged four wickets during the final between India and Bangladesh, he was also the leading wicket-taker of the entire tournament with 17 wickets in his bag.

A master of legbreak googlies, Bishnoi can easily become the leading wicket-taker and a captain's first choice of bowlers and you could see India's U19 skipper Priyam Garg trusting him with the ball when it mattered the most and he did not disappoint. 

And even though he looks confident about his skills, what makes the Rajasthan-born a rather interesting character is his hot-headedness despite being a spinner, a rather rare combination to have.

Due to the fact that India were unable to put up a big score on the board for Bangladesh to chase, it was important for the Boys in Blue to build up some mental pressure on the opponents. From placing two fielders right in the face of the striker to surrounding them to talk trash in between overs we got to see everything during the second innings.

But the kind of sledging Bishnoi provided was completely different than the rest of the squad.

While he was clearly intimidating to all the batsmen he bowled to, it was his tête-à-tête with Bangladeshi opener Parvez Hossain Emon that was the highlight of the show.

Bishnoi sledging Bangladeshi batsman like it is grade 10 vs grade 11 on a school sports day! ðð¯ #U19CWCFinal

Ahead of Yashasvi Jaiswal removing him from the pitch in the 32nd over, Bishnoi got to share some 'words of wisdom' with Emon when the former was failing to connect with the ball one delivery after another.

Using some NSFW vocabulary, Bishnoi was successfully getting under his skin. And even though he wasn't able to take his wicket, getting Emon all riled up to go for a big shot has to be credited to the spinner.

Check out what the Indian fans had to say:

Bishnoi signalled Emon to use that 'bat a bit' after beating him concesutively & Emon acknowledged it. That's quality sledging. #U19CWCFinal #U19CWC
