Young cricketers playing picture-perfect strokes has become a norm in this day and age of expert cricket coaching, but a young batsman hitting it cleanly with just a stump in place of a bat would surely inspire awe. A young boy was seen having a net with just a stump and he hit all the shots in the book - drives, sweeps, ramps and flicks - in a display of delightful stroke-making. Geared up in pads and a helmet, the budding cricketer practised on what looked like a cement surface and made full use of the true bounce to practice his range of shots.

At one moment he was seen hitting the ball through the off-side with an extended flourish of the bat and astute footwork, while at the other he was seen exhibiting a full-fledged forward defence.Â
He nonchalantly flicked deliveries on his pads towards the leg side and even improvised to practice the ramp shot, all off a single stump.Â
The sweep shots were brilliantly done, too.Â
The young batsman played with just two stumps behind him and the middle stump was missing. Â
Twitter users were quick to find humour even as many appreciated the young boy's strokes.
