From Lasith Malinga to Paul Adams, cricket, over the years, has seen numerous out-of-the-box bowling actions. Moving away from real life, and onto the big screen, one bowling action that had all of India talking at one point of time was that of the character 'Goli', played by actor Daya Shankar Pandey, in Aamir Khan starrer 'Lagaan'. In the movie, 'Goli' bamboozles his English counterparts by rotating his arm multiple times before finally releasing the ball. Well, now there is a real life version of 'Goli' and the video of him bowling is doing the rounds on social media.
Mohammed Siraj put on his cap for his debut Test it Melbourne in a highly-successful campaign Down Under, when India registered a memorable 2-1 series win, all he was thinking of was his father, who had passed away a few days ago, thinking his 'dad should've been here'. Siraj had a memorable debut as he claimed 3/37 in the second innings to help India to an eight-wicket win against Australia. The fast bowler would script memorable figures that would witness him claim 13 wickets in the series, out of which five came in the final Test at the iconic Gaba when India breached Australia's almost impenetrable fortress. Siraj would eventually finish as the third-highest wicket-taker of the series from three games with only Pat Cummins and fellow RCB pacer Josh Hazlewood leading the tally ahead of the Indian. That series, however, was a defining moment in Siraj's career given the fact that he lost his dad just ahead of the series. Alongside his family travails, he was also battling with racism and the stringent Covid-19 protocols that were in place, the report on the RCB website said. Siraj opened up about one of the toughest and yet one of the most memorable moments of his life after the series. "It was really tough for me. My dad was ill during the IPL too. But family members hadn't told me that the matter was serious. I got to know about his condition when I landed in Australia," Siraj was quoted as saying by RCB in an article on their official website.
Kirsten mentored the Gujarat Titans to fashion themselves into a winning outfit in their very first season. Working alongside him, was allrounder and captain Hardik Pandya. The latter has left a telling impact on Kirsten after this trophy-winning season. "I've been impressed with Hardik Pandya. Not having known him well earlier, I've got a view on him now that he's this cricketer who just plays instinctively and takes the game on. He engages in a lot of cricket conversations and wants to learn, wants to get better and improve and understand his players," Kirsten told TOI as Pandya-led Titans ticked all the boxes to emerge 2022 IPL champions.
