#2 The reverse-scoop (AB de Villiers)
Mr. 360, as he is popularly known, can be really unorthodox at times. He has played some of the most astonishing innings of all times.
However, one shot which can be totally attributed de Villiers' innovation is the reverse-scoop. What makes the shot all the more special is the fact that AB can play it against the fast bowlers who are bowling at 150 kmph.
He just changes the grip on the bat and flicks the ball over the third-man region. The reverse-scoop has been very effective in T20 cricket but it is a high-risk shot and it takes a lot of talent and skill to execute it.
