Usman Tariq's Bowling Action Sparks Debate: Ashwin, Chopra Weigh In

• Usman Tariq's bowling action, specifically his 'pause' before release, ignited a social media storm during Pakistan's T20 World Cup match.
• Former Indian wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami questioned the legality of Tariq's 'pause', comparing it to disallowed actions in football.
• R Ashwin countered, arguing that if batters can switch-hit without informing, bowlers shouldn't face unique restrictions like not changing bowling arm.
• Aakash Chopra supported Ashwin's broader point but posed a biomechanical challenge regarding Tariq's ability to increase pace without momentum.
• Despite being cleared twice by the ICC for elbow extension within limits, the debate surrounding Tariq's action continues among cricket experts.
