Bowlers with unorthodox bowling actions in modern Cricket

#2 Shivil Kaushik

Kaushik's action was similar to Paul Adams

Shivil Kaushik caught everyone's attention after he made his IPL debut for the Gujarat Lions. Within few minutes, after delivering his first ball, Kaushik took the internet by storm.

People started comparing him with the Legendary South African chinaman bowler Paul Adams.

In fact, Adams himself took the twitter and congratulated this unorthodox wonder kid from Bengaluru.

Kaushik's bowling action was the talk of the town during IPL 2016. Batsmen admitted that there is a sense of unpredictability with his bowling and also claimed that the ball was released in a weird position which makes it difficult to read the line.

His KPL side's coach said, "the most remarkable thing about his bowling is that sometimes it comes out as a chinaman, sometimes googly and at other times just whips through as a top spinner. He himself confesses that he doesn’t know which one will turn which way."

Kaushik emerged as the winner of the talent hunt for spinners conducted by former Indian spinner Anil Kumble's company Tenvic in Bengaluru.

He was picked by Hubli tigers for Rs.60,000 in Karnataka Premier League. After playing for numerous domestic franchises, Kaushik was then scalped by Gujarat Lions at his base price of Rs.10 lakh in IPL 2016.

Kaushik was unsold in this year's IPL auction, but this young talent has the potential to make it big and he is just 22 years old with so many years of cricket still left in him.
