Tendulkar praises young girl's 'smooth, effortless' bowling

New Delhi: Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has lauded a young girl’s “smooth and effortless” bowling action, likening it to former India pacer Zaheer Khan, who too praised her technique in a social media exchange that created a lot of buzz.

On Friday, Tendulkar shared a video on ‘X’ featuring the young girl, Sushila Meena, delivering a ball with an extraordinarily fluid left-arm pace bowling action, reminiscent of Zaheer’s signature style.

Tendulkar also tagged his longtime India teammate Zaheer in his video, which was in slow motion.

“Smooth, effortless, and lovely to watch! Sushila Meena’s bowling action has shades of you, @ImZaheer. Do you see it too?” the Indian batting legend said in his post.
