Saiyami Kher trained with Murali Karthik to prepare for her role in Ghoomar

Saiyami Kher, who is playing the role of a talented cricketer in her upcoming film 'Ghoomar', has been doing all kinds of training to make herself physically fit for the role. And to get the cricket scenes right, she has taken training from former cricketer Murali Karthik.

Since Saiyami plays the role of a left-handed cricketer, she prefers to train with left-handed batsmen and bowlers. Hence, Murali Karthik was the perfect fit for her to learn the techniques and details of left-handed cricket. Murali was a skilled slow left-arm orthodox bowler known for his loopy trajectory and ability to spin and bounce.

Saiyami says, “I have been passionate about cricket and have been playing the game since my school days. I kept trying to play the game with both my hands, but my in my life, my right hand is the dominant hand, so for Ghoomar, I needed to undergo challenging training and become a left-handed player. It was very kind of Karthik ji to come forward and help me with this training and he gave me many key points and little details that make a difference. I have always loved his classic orthodox action since childhood. So it was fun to get trained by him.

Ghoomar, written and directed by R Balki, also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Angad Bedi, Shabana Azmi in key roles. The story is co-written with Rahul Sengupta and Rishi Virmani, and is inspired by the story of the late Hungarian right-handed shooter Károly Takács, who won two Olympic gold medals with his left hand after his other hand was severely injured.

Actress Saiyami Kher, who has been passionate about cricket since childhood, got her dream fulfilled when she got a chance to play a cricketer in R Balki's upcoming film Ghoomar. In the film, Kher plays the role of a talented cricketer, who one day sustains a horrific injury, rendering her right hand unusable, but with her indomitable courage and willpower, she learns to play the game with her left hand. Determined to make dreams come true.

Kher took the help of former cricketer Murali Karthik, a left-arm spinner, to train her to play left-handed. Despite being right-handed, Kher had to learn how to bowl left-arm spinners effectively. Karthik's expert training and graceful bowling style made him the ideal coach for the actor.

Before the shoot began, Kher and Kartik had several rehearsal sessions together in Mumbai in early 2022. During these sessions, Karthik guided Kher on technical aspects of cricket such as the movement of her backfoot and the position of her landing foot. Kher, who has been playing cricket since childhood, had a great understanding of the game and thus learned quickly.

It is known to all that in the past, Murali Karthik has been a great player. Although he wanted to become a genetic engineer at one time, but then his interest in cricket increased and he became famous as a medium pacer, but later on, inspired by legendary Indian spinners like Bishan Singh Bedi, Maninder Singh and Venkatapati Raju, he switched to left arm finger spin.

Apart from his cricketing talent, Murali Karthik is also known for his efforts towards social welfare and protecting the environment. He actively participated in various campaigns launched by PETA India.
