Abhishek Sharma bowled that ball in 2019 by the way. Not a new ball from him. Carrom ball, back spinner(this one) and a stock delivery.

Abhishek Sharma here used his middle finger to get some back revs on the ball. Little bit like a mirror image of what R Ashwin did. The ball should ideally out swing a bit. Look at the seam presentation which is sustained with the flick. Top skills. https://t.co/B7xkkTubue
