MI's new spin sensation Vignesh Puthur, was once a medium pacer, says friend

Deccan Chronicle  

Malappuram: Twenty three year-old Vignesh Puthur, who made his IPL debut by picking up three wickets for the Mumbai Indians in their recent match with Chennai Super Kings, bowled medium pace as kid, but was guided to becoming a chinaman bowler by his friend Mohammed Shareef. Shareef, who used to attend cricket coaching, recognised the talent in Puthur when he saw the young kid play at the age of 11 near their home in Malappuram district of Kerala. However, when Shareef was guiding Puthur in the direction of left-arm leg spin, he did not know at that time that it was actually called 'chinaman' bowling, a rarity in cricket. Shareef said that now Puthur has got a good start with his debut for the Mumbai Indians, he should capitalise on it and work harder to reach new heights.
