Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He won the Man of the series in that tournament, picking up 10 wickets in four matches at an astonishing average of 8.20 and with a superb economy rate of 5.12. Guyana put on a poor show at the Champions League, but Bishoo came out of the tournament with his head held high. His attacking style of bowling won him many admirers and he was chosen to play in the 2011 World Cup.
He made his debut against England at Chennai made an immediate impression. He changed the course of the match by picking up the key wickets of Jonathan Trott, Eoin Morgan and Luke Wright and ended up with 3/34 in his 10 overs. It was this fine spell that announced him on the world stage. He continued to progress upwards. He had a wonderful T20 debut against Pakistan when he picked up 4/17 to help the Windies to victory. This earned him his first Man of the Match award.
He continued to torment Pakistan in the ODI series with 11 wickets at an average of 17.18. It was indeed a proud moment for him and Guyana when he was awarded the Test cap on his home ground. Like in the ODIs and T20Is, he had an immediate impact by picking up 4/68. In the second innings, he shared a crucial 48-run stand with Chanderpaul for the last wicket to help the Windies get to safety.
Bishoo credits all his success to his parents. Having lost his father 17 years ago, his mother gave him the strength to achieve his goals. Everytime he goes out on the field wearing the West Indies cap, he takes a moment to remember his father, who had wanted him to be part of the West Indies. Today, looking at the rise of Devendra, Mohanlal Bishoo would be a very proud father indeed.
Bishoo's immense talent saw him deservedly bag the ICC Emerging Player Award in 2011.
However, Australia's tour of West Indies in 2012 saw Bishoo's rise being swamped. He played just the one Test out of three, conceding 125 runs with a meager wicket to show for. He fell out of favour in the abbreviated forms of the game as well. Shane Shillingford took over the mantle of the prime spinner before Sunil Narine snatched it away. Bishoo saw himself accompanying West Indies A team rather than going with the Test team on the high-profile tour to England.
Bishoo remained out of favour in Tests for the next three years, making a return against England in the second Test at St George's in April 2015. Gradually, Bishoo seems to have found his feet in Tests. He registered his first ten-wicket haul with match figures of 10 for 174 in the day/night Test against Pakistan in the UAE.
He was a part of Windies's squad for the two Tests in New Zealand in 2017-18 but couldn't find a place in the eleven on pace-friendly tracks.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
From Berbice county, a hotbed of cricket in Guyana, legspinner Devendra Bishoo rose through the ranks to make his first-class debut in 2008, taking 71 wickets, including four five-wicket hauls and a ten-for, in his first three seasons. He was also the Player-of-the-Series in the 2010 Caribbean T20, finishing with ten wickets in four games at an average of 8.20.
Bishoo's first year in West Indies colours was a memorable one - he kicked it off with the 2011 ODI World Cup, made his Test debut two months later, and was named the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year later that year for his 45 international wickets at 26.71. But a heavy workload on spin-friendly pitches, both at home and overseas, took its toll on his body and he did not play international cricket for three years from April 2012. He came back into West Indies' Test squad in 2015 after taking a load of wickets for Guyana.
In a quirk of fate, in a Test in Dominica on June 3, 2015 - exactly 22 years since Shane Warne's ball of the century - Bishoo pitched one outside leg stump, made it rip across Brad Haddin's outside edge and toppled the off stump.
A year later, he took 18 wickets in three Tests against Pakistan in the UAE, including ten in Dubai and seven more in a win in Sharjah. He had a quiet tour of England in 2017, and though he took 13 wickets against Zimbabwe in two Tests in Bulawayo, Bishoo played only a handful more Tests for West Indies.
