Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus sparked a social media storm during IND vs NAM T20 World Cup 2026 as fans drew striking comparisons between his bowling action and that of Pakistan’s mystery spinner, Usman Tariq. Erasmus, who derailed India’s start by dismissing both Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma, displayed an unconventional, jerky delivery stride that fans linked with Tariq’s controversial ‘pause-and-release’ style. Fans on platform X (formerly Twitter) began labelling him the ‘Usman Tariq of Namibia’, referring to the Pakistani spinner for a similar arm-bend and staggered run-up. The ‘Pause and Deliver’ Debate: Why Usman Tariq’s Bowling Action Is Sparking Controversy.

Good Practice For India
