Top 5 innovative measures used by batsmen

#2 When Lendl Simmons batted with a single Leg Guard (Pad)

Lendl Simmons batting with a single leg guard

A never-seen-before-incident occurred during the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League when Windies batsman Lendl Simmons decided to bat with only his left pad. In the match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Simmons decided to discard the services of his right pad after the 12th over and batted the remaining 8 overs in an unusual style.

Even though Simmons was the highest run scorer in the innings, his 60 ball 50 was the slowest fifty made by a batsman in T20 cricket. Though there were other notable contributions in the match, but the biggest talking point of the match was Simmons deciding to bat with one pad. The spectators around the stadium were literally bemused seeing Simmons in this unusual avatar and even the TV audiences were left scratching their head and searching for answers.
