These cricketers have etched their names in the minds of their fans, thanks to their remarkable trademark shots.
6. AB de Villiers
AB de Villiers was known for his fierce batting attitude during his playing days. His unprecedented capability to get hold of bowlers in all three forms of the sport made him one of the most successful players in the history of cricket. In his cricketing career, he played unconventional shots a great many times and left cricket fans in awe.
Holding the bat in his hand, he does wonders with his amazing reflexes, incredible bat speed and rapid hand movements. Noting his potential to play strokes all around the wicket, he is also called 'Mr. 360' and cricket’s 'Superman'. His spunk and talent to execute unorthodox shots made him one of the best batters in the business to amass runs swiftly and shatter the confidence of bowlers.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), his 360-degree strokeplay drove spectators crazy at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. In recent years, some batters such as Glenn Maxwell, Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant have also displayed their ability to play unorthodox strokes, thus coming to be compared to the legend Protea.
