We are well aware of some typical shots of players. For instance, MS Dhoni’s helicopter shot and Viender Sehwag’s upper cut are some of the famous shots cricket fans love. Now, it looks like Virat Kohli has also invented a unique shot in his name.
Termed by BCCI as the ‘slap shot’, it was played by Kohli during the fourth ODI against Australia in Mohali. During the 39th over of Jason Behrendorff, Kohli smashed a scoop shot down leg side while stepping towards the off. Have a look at the video.
MS Dhoni’s helicopter shot has become a widely popular one among fans. Let’s see if Kohli’s slap shot can match its popularity.
