In the T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan team has reached the top of Group A with a great start. One name was most talked about in the victory against America – young mystery spinner Usman Tariq. While Tariq, who took three important wickets with his spin, is making an impact on the field, questions are again being raised about his bowling action.
Questions raised on action, Tariq’s answer
After the match, allegations of ‘chucking’ were made on social media regarding his action. Responding to this, Usman Tariq said that his hand bends differently than usual, which is not due to any technical fault but is a part of his physical structure. Tariq claims that he has undergone medical examination and has already been cleared. He said that people misunderstand their action, whereas it is their natural structure. After his statement the debate has become more intense.
Dhoni’s film changed his career
The story of Usman Tariq is also quite interesting. According to his family, there was a time when he had decided to leave cricket. After that, his thinking changed after watching the film ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ made on Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The scene in the film, in which Dhoni starts fighting for his dreams again, deeply affected Tariq. After this, he started practicing again, joined a local academy and worked hard to make his place as a net bowler.
Indian players also reacted
His run-up and style of pausing before leaving the ball were questioned by some cricket experts. However, India’s experienced spinner R Ashwin argued in favor of the bowlers. He says that if the batsman can make changes in his shot, then the bowlers should also get some freedom.
Pakistan’s strong position
In the match against America, Pakistan batted first and scored a big score. In reply, Tariq’s spin put the opposition team under pressure and the match went in favor of Pakistan.
Now Pakistan’s next big match is against India. In such a situation, both Usman Tariq’s bowling and his action will remain in the headlines. As important as his performance on the field will be, the focus will also be on what further turn the controversy takes.
