5 Glenn Maxwell strokes which are breath-taking

#2 Switch Hit

Unorthodox yet effective

One of the trickiest shots introduced in the game is the switch hit and Maxwell is a master at it. He plays this shot mostly against spinners as there is more time to adjust to the changes required for the shots. After the bowler releases the ball, he changes his stances as well as the grip and bats like a left-hander and meets the right underneath his eyes. All this happens in one motion and gives absolutely no clue to the bowler.

One of the most memorable moments came in the World T20 2016 when he smashed Ravindra Jadeja over extra cover for six which became one of the highlights of the tournament. Every time such a shot is played, it takes the excitement to another level and the whole stadium gets lit up.
