Meet Kamindu Mendis, the cricketer who’s got everyone talking. This Sri Lankan player just made his IPL debut with the Sunrisers Hyderabad, and his unique skill has left fans stunned. Mendis can bowl with both hands – a rare talent that’s got the cricket world buzzing.
In a recent match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, Mendis showed off his ambidextrous skills. He bowled left-handed to Angkrish Raghuvanshi and then switched to right-handed to bowl to Venkatesh Iyer. It was a move that caught everyone off guard, including the commentators and fans on social media.
As one fan tweeted, “Kamindu Mendis bowling leg break to right-hand batter and off spin to left-handed batters. Amazing Talent!” The video of Mendis’s incredible bowling has gone viral, with many calling him a game-changer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
But this isn’t the first time Mendis has shown off his skills. Last year, he played against India in a T20 series and bowled with both hands to different batsmen. He bowled left-handed to Suryakumar Yadav and then switched to right-handed to bowl to Rinku Singh.
So, how does it work? According to ICC rules, a bowler who wants to bowl with both hands must inform the umpire beforehand. The umpire then lets the batsman know which hand the bowler will use. If the bowler doesn’t follow this rule, the delivery is called a no-ball.
Mendis’s unique talent has got everyone excited about the possibilities. Can he change the game with his ambidextrous bowling? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – he’s definitely got the attention of cricket fans around the world.
