#8. AB de Villiers- Lap Shot
" There is nothing AB de Villiers can't do on a cricket field," said Harsha Bhogle. He can hit 360 degrees around the ground. A blend of orthodox shots and unorthodox shots, this is how you define this man. Playing cricketing is okay but hitting 145+ kmph delivery for a lap shot is not a child's play, only ABD can do that.
#9. Kevin Pietersen- Switch Hit

He would turn his stance just after bowler released the ball and found a way to manipulate the gaps. This was an innovative move that changed the perception of modern day cricket.
