Australian Team cruised to an easy win, thanks to the stellar show by Indian-origin cricketer Nivethan Radhakrishnan. In this article, we take a look at how Twitter reacted to Nivethan Radhakrishnan‘s ambidextrous bowling in the U19 World Cup.
Nivethan Radhakrishnan’s ambidextrous bowling will be highly watched at the U19 World Cup
Nivethan is from Chennai and along with his parents, moved to Australia in 2013. Previously, he has been a net bowler in IPL and has been part of the Tamil Nadu Premier League, as well. In the first game against West Indies, he collected three wickets, giving away just 48 runs in 10 overs. Later on, with the bat, he scored 31 runs. The teenager is an ambidextrous bowler, meaning he can bowl with both hands.

The best bowler for Australia in their #U19CWC match vs WI is Nivethan Radhakrishnan. He's an ambidextrous bowler and was born and grew up at Chennai.
