He was bowling all variations of carrom ball, leg-spin, googly, slider with the same grip (he was bowling all variations with the same grip). He doesn’t have that big of a turn. He was bowling on the stumps and no one was able to read his length. I immediately asked him if he had ever played with hard ball. The answer was ‘no’. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Out of curiosity, I examined his fingers, and they were like iron rods.
