In an exclusive interview, Mohammed Shareef shared the story of how he encouraged Vignesh to try leg spin. “I told him to try leg spin instead, as it could be beneficial for him,” Shareef said. “I was an off-spinner myself, so I shared some technical aspects of spin bowling with him.”

Vignesh took Shareef’s advice to heart and began to work on his leg spin. It didn’t take long for him to notice the positive impact it had on his game. “When he started bowling leg spin, I could see a significant improvement in his game. His accuracy and spin were much better, and it was clear that he was enjoying himself on the field,” Shareef said.
Shareef’s revelation has sparked curiosity among cricket fans, who are eager to know more about Vignesh’s journey from medium pace to leg spin. “It’s amazing to see how far he’s come.
