Signature shots of Cricket Superstars
We bring to you the signature shots of Cricketing superstars and legends who send the balls whistling to the boundary of over the ropes. The bowler is at a loss as to where to pitch the balls against these gentlemen, while the opposition captain pulls his hair out trying to set the field. The fans however rejoice when the cracking sound is heard and the ball disappears.
A B De Viliers
The Mr. 360 will hit the ball any where but the one that is most effective is when moves off the wicket and sweeps the fast bowler behind the wicket and that too more often for a six.
Chris Gayle
When the Gayle storm is blowing there is a hail of boundaries and sixes to the absolute delight of the stadium and the opposition has no where to run. Lately it is the inside out is his favorite and most effective more often than not.
Rahul Dravid
The wall can eat up a lot of balls and frustrate the opposition in tests and at the same time can also switch gears in the shorter versions of the game to quietly take the game away. His square cut and square drive have never been equalled to date.
Saurav Ganguly
The Dada of Indian cricket is the most the aggressive Indian player ever before Virat Kohli came to the scene. The one that keeps replaying in the minds of millions ofcourse is Saurav dancing down the tracks and dispatching many a world class left arm spinner to the parking lots of stadiums.
Brian Lara
The classiest left hander of all time, Brian Charles Lara was elegance personified when he batted and his most memorable shot was the late cut which he played so late that he took it almost from the keeper's gloves.
Glenn Maxwell
Glenn Maxwell is the most exciting modern batsmen more because of his inconsistency as the opposition never knows which match he will unleash. The shots that he has mastered is the reverse sweep to six and the switch hit to the same effect.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Even babies who play cricket know this and yes it is the helicopter shot first played and mastered by MSD and when it comes for a winning shot it is even more pleasurable to watch and rewatch.
Rohit Sharma
The three time triple centurian in ODIs on his day is the most awesome player to watch and especially the straight six that he has comes to own is something to treasure.
Virendar Sehwag
The most exciting opening batsman ever keeps it pretty simple, see the ball and hit. Sehwag's most delightful shot of course is the upper cut to six followed by his no nonsense square drive.
Shikhar Dhawan
When in form Shikhar plays all the shots in the books it is his leap frog cut shot, one that is played with him in the air that has not been seen played by anyone else.
Sachin Tendulkar
Even when the God of Cricket plays a soft defence it is a sight to the eyes. But it is his straight drive that is played with so much style and timing that is so much like a musical symphony.
Virat Kohli
The greatest batsmen in the modern era, Virat Kohli seems to play the ball and the bowler the way he wants. Among all the array of shots this talented young man possesses it is his drive over extra cover that stands out.
Yuvaraj Singh
Yuvi , one of the finest south paws ever to play the game, it is the pull that produces a six is the most eye popping shot to watch for the bowler first and the audiences split seconds later.
