Since the advent of the Twenty20 format, the cricketing arena has witnessed numerous unorthodox shots. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen was the flag-bearer of switch hit, while former Sri Lanka opener Tillakaratne Dilshan started the concept of 'Dilscoop' and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar sent many pacers on a leather hunt with his typical uppercut. But all of that fades into insignificance before what has now emerged on social media.
The batsman did everything he shouldn't -twirled his bat like a sword, shuffled across the stumps to attempt a switch-hit. Eventually, he ended up playing a paddle scoop and sent the ball towards fine-leg for a boundary.
While where the match was played could not be ascertained, the shot did make waves.
Excited fans trolled the batsman and gave this shot a new name - Heliscoop.
A fan called the batsman the mixture of MS Dhoni and Zimbabwe's Dougie Marrilier.
Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, who comes from a warrior clan, is known to celebrate his milestones in his trademark moves, twirling his bat like a sword.
But, this batting style was something else altogether.
