Five batsmen who invented innovative shots

#3 Tilakaratne Dilshan/Douglas Marillier

Dilshan introduced the Dilscoop in the 2009 ICC World T20

As cricketers, they are as different as possible. Douglas Marillier only played 48 ODIs and made only one ODI century.

Tilakaratne Dilshan is, on the other hand, one of the most decorated cricketers of Sri Lanka. However, they count as one batsman here because they both popularised the astounding paddle shot where you lift the ball behind the wicketkeeper, to the fine leg boundary.

Marllier destroyed India in one memorable innings where the shot featured prominently, Dilshan used the Dilscoop to wreak havoc for years.
