The world of cricket has thrown fans a lot of different types of bowlers. There are traditional bowlers like Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Courtney Walsh and then there are bowlers with unconventional actions like Muttiah Muralidharan and Jasprit Bumrah. There was also South African left-arm wrist-spinner Paul Adams, who has been hailed as a bowler with one of the most unconventional actions in cricket.

Paul Adam’s action has been termed as a “Frog in a Blender” and Sri Lankan Kevin Koththiigoda has even left the master behind with his unique delivery of the ball. Koththiigoda, who hails from Galle, is playing for the Bangla Tigers in the Abu Dhabi T10 League and left the spectators surprised with his action. Here is a video of Koththiigoda playing in the T10 League:-
21-year-old Kevin Koththiigoda was the only successful bowler on the night for Bangla Tigers against Karnataka Tuskers as he dismissed Johnson Charles. Bangla Tigers eventually went on to win the match by 5 wickets as Andre Fletcher smashed 40 runs off 15 balls.
There was hype around Shivil Kaushik also when he made his Indian Premier League debut in 2016 for Gujarat Lions. Kaushik’s action was also very similar to Adams.
