Even though Steve Smith is the best Test batsman at present, he has to attribute a lot to his unorthodox style of batting. He tends to move across the stumps and score runs on the leg side.

In this World T20, he took this to a completely new level as he took his stance well outside the off-stump exposing all the three stumps against Wahab Riaz. If the bowler had bowled with an aim at the stumps, he would have seen the stumps cartwheeling, a sight all the fast bowlers wish for.

Riaz, who is known to bowl accurate Yorkers followed Steve Smith and bowled it wide of him and Smith went ahead with the shot as he lofted it to the deep mid-wicket region. At the time of impact, Smith was almost in the adjacent pitch.
