Unheralded Spinner Maity Impresses Indian Team with Ambidextrous Bowling
A little-known cricketer named Kaushik Maity surprised the Indian team with his unique ability to bowl with both arms.
He bowled off-spin to left-handed batters and left-arm spin to right-handed ones.
The Indian team was practicing to face South African spinners.
Maity got some useful advice from Ravindra Jadeja, which could help him improve his skills and maybe even get a contract in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
