Mokit Hariharan, who features for VB Kanchi Veerans in the ongoing edition third of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL), showed unique ability to bowl with both right and left hands. So much so, him being ambidextrous has left many fans impressed.

Meanwhile, Hariharan stunned everybody during a game against TNPL franchise Dindigul Dragons. Hariharan started off with a left-arm spin against left-handed batsman, while he shifted to right-arm spin bowling to right-handers.

However, the 18-year-old failed to grab a wicket in his quota of four overs. But he managed to impress the fans with a rarely seen ability.

Unfortunately, for Veerans, Hariharan???s allround showing was not enough to get his side to a win. The Dragons picked up their third win in four outings, as they beat their opponents by seven wickets.
