Watch: Batter's Unique Scoop Shot From Behind The Stumps Leaves Netizens Shocked
The footage is from a local match, where the batter patiently waited for the ball and then went behind the stumps and scooped it over the wicketkeeper's head for a boundary.
Cricket is becoming more fascinating with every passing day. Earlier, there was a time when teams used to easily defend a target like 150 in 20 overs but now, 200 runs are also being easily chased. Batters have adapted many different techniques like switch hit, square cut, scoop shot, etc to score quick runs. India batter Suryakumar Yadav and South Africa legend AB de Villiers are the biggest example of the players, who are known for their unconventional shots. However, a video is getting viral on social media, where a batter has invented a very unique type of shot.
