Every cricketer has their own trademark style for bowling and for batting. Top bowlers like Paul Adams, Lasith Malinga to Sohail Tanvir, always leave us stunned with their extra-ordinary bowling skills and the way they bring out something new every time.
However, time and again we have seen many weird actions and styles as well. They find their comfortable zone in awkward and weird actions. In our national cricket team, we have so many bowlers who are famous for their bizarre actions, including Jasprit Bumrah and Kedar Jhadav.
Last night, we got to see another awkward or to put it in better words abnormal bowling actions, which caught everyone’s eyes. Manoj Tiwary, who used to be an effective leg spinner, is getting trolled for his weird bowling action from the match that happened last night between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Although, he bowled only a single over but that over has caught all the limelight and has created a buzz on social media. From making jokes to memes, people are trolling Manoj Tiwary severely.
Here, have a look at some of the reactions of twitteratis:
With that bowling action, Manoj Tiwary will make even Kedar Jadhav and Lasith Malinga jealous. #IPL

I’m loving this from Manoj Tiwary. Irrespective of how he bowls, great to see a player add another dimension to their game and remain relevant, just like Ashwin’s leggies.

Wasn’t Manoj Tiwary bowling leg spin few years back?

Interesting action, Manoj Tiwary. Perfectly legal, though.

Is it even allowed what Manoj Tiwary is bowling? A liitle bit lower, that will be called under-arm bowling.#SRHvKXIP

Right-arm submarine from Manoj Tiwary. ‘Tis becoming a sub-genre now.

First time I’m watching Manoj Tiwary bowl. Is that sling action even legal? I though Malinga was an extreme but this is ridiculous. #SRHvsKXIP #IPL2018
