Top 5 strange but effective shots in cricket

2. Steve Smith’s shot between the legs

Smith plays the ball in between his legs

Australian batsman Steven Smith took full toll of a free-hit in his innings against South Africa in the third match of the Carlton Mid ODI series. Morne Morkel bowled a full delivery almost a foot outside off-stump but Smith was quick to move to his right and played a shot between his legs that went to the backward-square leg region for four.

Much like his Australian counter-part Glenn Maxwell, Smith too is known for hitting shots that are relatively unknown to the technique textbook.
