Sri Lanka's Kevin Koththiigoda has captured the attention of cricket fans with his unique bowling action, which is similar to former South Africa bowler Paul Adams' version of frog in a blender.

Koththiigoda is playing for Bangla Tigers in the T10 League and in two matches, he has taken a wicket for 43 runs.

A leg-break bowler by trade, Koththiigoda made his List A and T20 debut for Galle Cricket Club this year, taking eight wickets in five List A matches and six wickets in four T20s.

Twitter was abuzz once a video emerged of the bowler's unorthodox action, eliciting reactions from fans.

India's Shivil Kaushik, who played for the now-defunct Gujarat Lions in IPL 2017, is another bowler with a similar action.
