10 Best players of late-cut in world cricket right now

4. Rohit Sharma

Just like his other shots which are highly elegant, even Rohit Sharma’s late guide towards third-man to fetch a mere single look resplendent. The cut shot against seamers has always been Rohit Sharma’s heavy scoring area when provided with width. Similarly, the late cut is also Rohit’s go-to stroke especially against spinners which often makes him grab nifty runs.

With his pendulum-like bat swing, Rohit always plays the late cut with his sheer timing rather than doing something extraordinary. It normally becomes his feature stroke, once the power play gets finished which often helps him to get indulged in strike rotation. Also, mainly against the leg-spinners, Rohit often picks the length early and late cuts the ball between the point and short third man fielder when placed in the ring.

Scoring behind the square of the wicket towards the offside is a high business area for Rohit Sharma and the late cut shot has always been a functional stroke for the right-hander.
