Kamindu Mendis, the Sri Lankan star who made his IPL debut against KKR on Thursday, has made an impact straightaway by picking up an important wicket of Angkrish Raghuvanshi. His speciality is that he can bowl with both hands, and that ambidextrous nature was on full display in the first over as he bowled right-arm off spin to left-hander and then left-arm orthodox spin to right-hander.

Kamindu Mendis Removes Dangerous Angkrish Raghuvanshi 

The left-arm spin worked wonders, and Kamindu removed Angkrish Raghuvanshi on the fourth ball of the over. The KKR batter scored 50 off 32 balls and Kamindu provided a vital breakthrough for his side. He bowled off-spin to Venkatesh Iyer, and handing him a game at Eden Gardens is proving to be a masterstroke from SRH.

Bowling with both hands is legal in cricket, but there are very few who are capable of it, and Kamindu is one of those special talent. Also, the Sri Lankan is not only about his bowling, and it is his batting that is the stronger suit. He has been very consistent in Test cricket as a batter and has scored runs in testing conditions.

Thus, SRH would be hoping that he comes up with good with the bat as well, whenever he is needed and overall, Kamindu Mendis is a quality utility player.
