It is not uncommon in cricket for part-time players to bowl and take wickets.
Compilation of Indian batsmen doing bowling: Part-time Indian bowlers Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav stunned Sri Lanka in the 3rd T20I of the three-match series on Tuesday, July 30 at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium when the duo bowled the last two decisive overs.
When the hosts needed only nine runs from 12 balls, Suryakumar handed the ball to part-time offspinner Rinku Singh. He conceded only three runs while taking two wickets including the big wicket of Kusal Perera (46). Then when six runs were needed from six balls, Suryakumar took it upon himself to bowl the final over. He too bowled some off-spin, took two wickets and conceded only five runs.
Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, MS Dhoni and Wasim Jaffer have also bowled
It is not an uncommon phenomenon in cricket for part-time players to bowl and take wickets. In this article, we will show a video in which part-time Indian bowlers in international cricket, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, MS Dhoni and Wasim Jaffer have not only bowled but also taken wickets. The special thing is that this video also has clips of Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik taking wickets, although they are not from international cricket.
Interestingly, the famous Indian opening pair of Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly were also part-time bowlers. But they played so much international cricket that they took 201 and 132 wickets respectively.
