Five batsmen who invented innovative shots

#4 Mushtaq Mohammed

Mohammed was a proficient leg-spinner as well

The stylish all-rounder had a long career in the 60s and 70s and even captained Pakistan in a few Tests.

Mushtaq comes from a long legacy of cricketers, with his elder brothers Wazir and Haneef also having played Tests for Pakistan successfully.

He scored 10 Test hundreds for Pakistan and was also a proficient leg-spinner who took 79 Test wickets.

Mohammed is credited with bringing the unconventional and extremely difficult reverse sweep into currency (though some believe his elder brother Haneef invented it).

This shot is now part and parcel of modern day cricket and its aggressive nature but Mushtaq made it a part of his repertoire way back in the '60s.
