7 Ajinkya Rahane
Ever since Rahane first started playing for India, he has been regarded as one of the most technically correct batsmen in the side and when it comes to playing the short ball, he hardly ever puts a foot wrong.
Rahane has always been successful in using the pull shot to good effect as one of his go-to attacking shots when the bowlers pepper him with short balls and his excellent backfoot technique is perhaps the most important factor that allows him to do so.
Whether it is against the likes of Mitchell Johnson in Australia or against the short ball barrage from New Zealand's Neil Wagner, Rahane can take care of the best bowlers with a perfectly executed pull shot.
