• Rohit Sharma’s Pull Shot is the best.

The Pull Shot is indeed an offensive move used in response to a delivery that pitches on a brief length. As the hitter strikes the ball, it usually rises to a height of about shoulder height or higher.

In order to hit the ball via that leg side area, the batsman plays a horizontal stroke from off to the leg side.

The top pull shot players historically are also among the most aggressive batters, which is no coincidence. Rohit Sharma of India is a player who precisely fits the description, and the statistics show that now the pull shot ranks among his absolute favourites.

• Rohit Sharma’s Scoop Shot

Since its introduction at the beginning of the twenty-first century, players have used it more and more frequently in One Day International and Twenty20 cricket matches. The player executes the shot by standing with both feet pointed at the bowler, body squarely in line with the ball. The player directs the ball towards to the fine leg area by using the bat to divert it past the batsman’s leg side shoulder.

With his perseverance and work, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has mastered this move and enjoys using the scoop shot in games. While he is set up on the crease or during the start, you may see him playing this shot. Especially his scoop shots find the stands directly. Astonishing. How could someone smash sixes with such ease? No idea as of now.

• Rohit Sharma’s Square Cut

A square cut is a cross-batted stroke used to put the ball square of a stumps or little backward of point and is played off the back foot. The ideal throw for a square cut is a short-pitched ball that travels wide of the off stump and permits unrestricted arm movement.

Watch Rohit as he competes with an off-spinner. With his square-cut shot, the ball will unquestionably go for a boundary as soon as he gets a ball outside off. Even fast bowlers are hesitant to hit him with a ball of such line and length.

1. Rohit Sharma’s Cover Drive

The action of stroking the ball through covers with timed wristwork and a traditional motion of the front foot towards the pitch of a delivery targeted at or outside the off stump is known as a cover drive in the game of cricket. The cover drive is regarded as one of the sport’s most elegant shots.
