5 bowlers with bizarre bowling actions

Jasprit Bumrah
One of the best talents produced by Indian cricket, Bumrah generates fine pace but all he does is just jog towards the popping crease before releasing the ball in the weirdest manner

Lasith Malinga
Sri Lanka legend Malinga’s slingy-arm action ensured he could hide the ball well behind his body. But what eventually made the difference was how quickly he managed to release it. Not to forget his innumerable variations.

Kedar Jadhav
Jadhav is known for his odd side-arm delivery that comes with a low release point. A comical sight - that is termed 'below the sea level' delivery by Sunil Gavaskar.

Shivil Kaushik
Much like South Africa’s Paul Adams, Shivil Kaushik has a bend while delivering the ball such that his head would face towards the mid-off/mid-on fielder. Kaushik’s unusual bowling style came to light during IPL 2016 when he was a part of the Gujarat Lions.

Sohail Tanvir
Pakistan’s Sohail Tanvir had one of the most peculiar styled bowling actions. One of the rare bowlers who bowl off the wrong foot, he bagged instant success in the shorter formats of the game, including the inaugural season of the IPL. He won the Purple Cap in IPL 2008 as he picked up 22 wickets.
