Saiyami on how she trained with bowler Murali Kartik to convincingly play a left-handed cricketer in Ghoomer

Saiyami Kher has been passionate about cricket since childhood. But playing a cricketer on screen is a different ball game altogether. In R Balki’s Ghoomer, the actor essays a cricket prodigy who, after an injury, is determined to chase her dream and learns to play the sport with her left hand.
The makers roped in former cricketer and left-arm spinner Murali Kartik to train her. “I had to learn how to become a left-arm spinner,” says the right-handed actor. “Murali Kartik’s bowling is as beautiful as it gets. He is a wonderful spinner with an orthodox style—loopy trajectory with good spin and bounce.”
