Mumbai: Ravichandran Ashwin amused everyone with his unique bowling action while playing for Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL).

Ashwin, while bowling 20th over of the innings was seen hiding the ball behind his back during his run-up. Due to his unusual action, Ashwin was successful in scalping a wicket off the delivery which was tossed up by the 32-year-old.

The official TNPL Facebook account posted the video of Ashwin's unique action with a caption which said, "My experiments with the ball-Ft. Ravi Ashwin".

This was not the first time when the off-spinner has tried to do something new in the ongoing edition of the TNPL. Earlier, Ashwin had delivered the ball without a full action as his non-bowling arm remained stationary and he completed the run-up by releasing the ball on his left foot.

Ashwin has been included in India's Test squad for the upcoming West Indies series. The right-arm-off-spinner made his last appearance for Team India during the India vs Australia Test series in December 2018.
