Top 5 strange but effective shots in cricket

5. Reverse sweep off a fast bowler

In one of the league stage matches during the World Cup this year, Afghanistan pacer Shapoor Zadran missed the yorker by an inch and Maxwell was quick to reverse hit the ball for a six over the third man region. A pre-meditated shot, Maxwell used his strong hands to expertly manoeuvre the ball in that direction.

This shot was previously executed to perfection by England’s Eoin Morgan too during a match against the West Indies when he reverse swept a quicker full length delivery from Ravi Rampaul for a boundary.
