India’s Ashwin defends Pakistan’s Usman Tariq after bowling controversy

In a notable display of sportsmanship transcending cricket’s fiercest rivalry, Indian spin legend Ravichandran Ashwin has vocally defended Pakistani bowler Usman Tariq against mounting criticism over his unconventional bowling action. The controversy ignited following Pakistan’s 32-run victory over the USA on Tuesday, a match where Tariq’s three-wicket haul (3/27) proved instrumental.
