10 iconic cricketers who immortalised their trademark cricketing shots

9. Kane Williamson 

Currently, Kane Williamson is one of the batters who possesses the ability to counter spin and seam comfortably. Seeing the New Zealand white-ball skipper playing a back-foot punch late is one of the best sights to behold for any cricket enthusiast. In his career, this shot has helped Williamson to pile up runs even on tough wickets.

In the 2019 World Cup semi-final victory against India, he played a crucial knock of 67 runs off 95 deliveries on the slow track of Old Trafford Cricket Ground. During his steady innings, he used his signature late cut to gather important runs against the spinner-duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Yuzvendra Chahal.

This shot gives Williamson crucial time to flick the ball late with elegance, while attempting a back-of-length delivery, outside off stump. In cricket, there are other players such as Virat Kohli, Babar Azam, Joe Root and Rohit Sharma who, too, excel in playing the late cut.
