Cricket
The high-voltage clash is set for February 15, but a new name is suddenly in the spotlight. Pakistan’s mystery spinner Usman Tariq is already making headlines ahead of the big game
Usman’s unusual bowling action sparked controversy during the Australia series. While some players questioned its legality, the ICC cleared him, and Tariq insists he feels no pressure
Despite being new to international cricket, Tariq has boldly warned Team India. He insists his action is legal and believes the real pressure will be on the Indian batters
High-arm googly. Carom ball. Low-arm googly. Quicker one. His variations and pause before release make him unpredictable, especially for batters facing him for the first time
He has taken at least one wicket in each of his last 23 T20 matches. In 4 T20Is alone, he already has 11 wickets. A serious strike rate for a rising spinner
The stage is set in Sri Lanka. India’s powerful batting vs Pakistan’s mystery weapon. Will Usman Tariq justify the hype or will India crack the code?
