Left-arm unorthodox bowler Shivil Kaushik made his IPL debut in match 25 of the tournament for Gujarat Lions against Rising Pune Supergiants.
But more than that his weird bowling style grabbed everyone’s attention.
Kaushik reminds most cricket fanatics of former South African bowler Paul Adams. His action almost resembles that of the South African whose bowling was famously described by a journalist as being like “frog in the blender”.
His uncanny action has led Twitterati to react very hilariously.
We present to you some of the most funny tweets from the social site about this young debutant.

Kaushiks action is influenced by Adams but somehow I fear his neck will crack up on delivery. Too scary an action #IPL #RPSvGL

If Baba Ramdev was a bowler, he would definitely bowl like Shivil Kaushik. ? #RPSvGL #GL #eit20 #VIVOIPL #GameMaariChhe
