10 Indian players who played the pull shot expertly

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

4 Rohit Sharma

England v India - Royal London One-Day Series 2014

India's limited opener Rohit Sharma is probably the most merciless puller in the world at the moment and ever since he first burst onto the international stage, the short ball has never been something that has worried him one bit.

In addition to the hook, he has the pull shot in his armoury as well and that makes it extremely difficult for fast bowlers to drop anything short against him.

However, when they do, Rohit Sharma's superior back-foot movement, quick eye, and fast hands help in playing the pull shot perfectly. Additionally, he can sometimes play it against good length deliveries as well and that makes him one of the best pullers of the ball in Indian cricket.
