Pakistan's Usman Tariq Stuns Fans with Unique Bowling Action in PSL

In addition to Seifert, James Vince—who had scored 37 runs off of 21 balls—was also dismissed by Tariq. After failing to work Tariq's delivery on the leg side and getting stuck in front of the stumps, Vince came in second.

In the Pakistan Super League, Usman Tariq is the newest buzz in town. He left a big impression on the Karachi Kings during the opening game. Tim Seifert was batting fluently at number 21 when the off-break bowler's mysterious delivery brought him down. Tariq pauses quite similarly to R Ashwin of India, and Seifert was unprepared for this move. Tariq approaches the crease very slowly and his entire bowling motion is characterized by this pause.

Former Pakistan Captain Misbah on Usman Tariq

Tariq's performance was praised by former Pakistan captain Misbah, who said that he is very accurate and has a carrom ball. In addition, he asserted that the ball's rotation is quite slight and, as such just sufficient to take the edge and beat the beat.

“If you play him like an off-spinner where the ball comes back in which we have tried and seen but all the batters make the same mistake when we think he is delivering the carrom ball. We try to play him in-line we plant our foot to play but him that subtle turn will get to you LBW or bowled.” Misbah clarifies.

Regarding Tariq's struggles in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Misbah stated that foreign players are participating in the league. At this point, they intend to analyze and decipher Tariq.

Tariq played in the National T20 Cup for Peshawar in late 2023 marking the beginning of his professional career. Tariq had previously represented Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's second XI in T20 and red-ball matches in a variety of 2022 fixtures before his time with Peshawar. Quetta has recruited him to partially replace Wanindu Hasaranga, who is expected to join the team in the middle of the campaign.
