Sixer hit with an inverted bat…Pakistani batsman steals the show with a surprising shot – Read

By News Update

The performance of the Pakistani team in the ODI series on the South Africa tour has been excellent. Especially some of its batsmen and bowlers have impressed a lot. Young opener Saim Ayub has won the most accolades by scoring 2 centuries in the series, while veteran batsman Babar Azam is also seen getting back into rhythm. Captain Mohammad Rizwan and star fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi have also looked strong. But apart from these, the one who has left the biggest impression is Agha Salman, who has played the role of a good finisher in the lower order. Salman has hit some excellent shots but the six hit with the bat upside down surprised everyone.

This amazing shot came from Salman’s bat in the last match of the ODI series on Sunday 22 December in Johannesburg. Pakistani team batted first and Saim Ayub put the team in a great position by scoring an excellent century. Salman did the work after this. Salman, who came at number six, started scoring runs quickly and focused on taking the ball across the boundary.

In this effort, in the 45th over of the innings, the most unique shot of this series and perhaps this year came from Salman’s bat. Salman played a reverse scoop shot on the fifth ball of this over by fast bowler Corbin Bosch. Now many other batsmen have played such a shot but the difference was that Salman played this shot with the opposite bat. Without changing the face of his bat, Salman wrapped the ball from its back side and the ball fell directly behind the wicketkeeper across the boundary, due to which Salman and Pakistan got 6 runs. This shot surprised not only Salman but also the audience and commentators. No one could believe his eyes.

Led the team to a big score with a brilliant innings.

This shot of Salman was brilliant but his entire innings was also no less. Like the entire series, this right-handed batsman played a strong innings in this match too. By scoring 48 runs in just 33 balls, he played an important role in helping the team reach the big score of 308 runs in 47 overs. Before him, Saim Ayub scored his second century of the series and third of his career. An inning of 101 runs came off his bat. Babar also played useful innings of 52 runs and captain Rizwan played 53 runs.
