Uttar Pradesh's left-arm spinner Shiva Singh is making the headlines for his 360-degree turn just prior to delivery.
From ambidextrous bowling to pausing in the middle of the bowling action, bowlers do unique things to get the better of the batsmen. Shiva's style too is one of a kind.
Shiva rotated 360 degrees in his run-up just before the delivery during a domestic game in Kalyani in Kolkata.
However, his delivery was called a dead ball by the onfield umpire.
The incident took place on the third day of a CK Nayudu Trophy match between Bengal and Uttar Pradesh in Kalyani.
Shiva has claimed that this was not the first time he had bowled in the 360-degree style but it was definitely the first time that umpire called it a dead ball.
"I use different variations in one-dayers and T20s so I thought of doing the same because the Bengal batsmen were developing a partnership. The umpires said dead ball, so I asked 'why are you calling it a dead ball?'
