Sachin Tendulkar shared the bowling video of a young girl named Sushila Meena on his X account and tagged Zaheer Khan in it, saying the action has shades of the 2011 World Cup winner in it.

In his post, Tendulkar described Sushila Meena’s bowling action as “smooth, effortless, and lovely to watch.” He also tagged Zaheer Khan, pointing out the resemblance to the former India pacer.

Tendulkar stated: “Smooth, effortless, and lovely to watch! Sushila Meena’s bowling action has shades of you, @ImZaheer. Do you see it too?”

Zaheer Khan, a veteran of 92 Tests, 200 ODIs, and 17 T20Is replied back to Tendulkar by quoting his video.

Zaheer said: “You’re spot on with that, and I couldn’t agree more. Her action is so smooth and impressive—she’s showing a lot of promise already!”

Sushila Meena is from Pratapgarh in Rajasthan. More videos of her bowling, as well as those of other schoolgirls playing cricket, are accessible on the Instagram account @aamliya_ishwar.

Sushila Meena hopes that Tendulkar's distribution of her video will increase her recognition, and if she wants to play cricket professionally, her rising fame can help.

As the video circulated widely, it drew admiration from fans and professionals, sparking conversations about the untapped potential in India’s rural cricketing talent pool.
