Sachin Tendulkar fan of young girl: Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar on Friday praised a young girl on X (formerly Twitter) whose bowling action is very similar to that of former Indian fast bowler Zaheer Khan. The girl, identified as Sushila Meena, is an emerging left-arm fast bowler from a village in Rajasthan. A video that has gone viral shows Sushila practising bowling barefoot, which shows her extraordinary passion for the game.
What caught Tendulkar's attention was her free action, which is reminiscent of Zaheer Khan. In the clip, Sushila's characteristic jump before releasing the ball is very similar to the bowling style of the former Indian great. Impressed by the young talent, Tendulkar re-posted the video with slow motion to emphasize the similarity for fans.
Sushila's video went viral
The video was originally shared on Instagram by "Ishwar Amaliya", who appears to be Sushila's coach. It has garnered widespread attention, garnering millions of views and a flood of comments. Sushila, a Class 5 student, is often seen bowling with determination even in her school uniform. Her story highlights the raw talent emerging from rural India and the possibilities of cricket at the grassroots level.
Zaheer Khan also reacted After Sachin Tendulkar shared the video, now fast bowler Zaheer Khan has also reacted to it. He has justified Sachin's point and praised Sushila's bowling action. He wrote on Instagram, 'You are absolutely right, and I completely agree with it. Her action is very smooth and impressive - she is already looking very promising!'
Zaheer Khan's brilliant career
One of India's most celebrated fast bowlers, Zaheer Khan made his debut in 2000 and became the backbone of India's fast bowling attack during his career. With 311 Test wickets and 282 ODI dismissals, Zaheer remains an icon of Indian cricket.
