5 most innovative shots in cricket history 

#4 Glenn Maxwell's reverse sweep (Yorkshire vs Lancashire)

Glenn Maxwell is popular among cricket fans for his dramatic shot-making and improvisation in the shorter format of the game. For other players, reverse sweep is one of the most difficult shots to play. Glenn has somehow mastered his art of playing one of the most difficult shots in the history of cricket.

He mainly plays the shorter format of the game and keeps on creating different reverse sweeps. There is hardly a match featuring Maxwell which goes without witnessing his reverse sweep. Once Maxwell stunned the whole crowd with his unorthodox reverse sweep over covers.

Glenn, while playing his first ball for Yorkshire, smashed a leg-side ball for a six over the cover with his amazing reverse sweep. It left even the commentators stunned as it was just the first ball of the innings.
