MS Dhoni is one of the best players of the pull shot

1 Rahul Dravid

3rd Test Australia v India Day Four

The Indian batting legend is probably one of the best batsmen the country has ever produced and in the domain of the pull shot, there is no one better.

Through a career that lasted for a decade and a half, Dravid was considered one of the best pullers of the ball and perhaps only Australia's Ricky Ponting was arguably better than him in the department.

Dravid generally used to be content with letting short balls go but if he decided that a ball was there to be hit then there was no one better than him and his usual calling card used to be the pull shot, which he played to great effect against some of the best bowlers in the world across the different formats of the game.

Even his waning reflexes towards the end of his career did not in any way affect his ability to play that shot.
