Everything’s fair in love and cricket be it in case of the live game or in fantasy cricket. As a sport that hails from early as the 18th century the sport certainly has quite a number of rules and norms that each player should follow in order to maintain the fairness of the sport. From the length of the pitch to how a bowler should ball or a batsman should bat are all fixed. However, one area of batting where the batsman is at his liberty is his batting stance. And while fans pitch their support for the batsmen like Virat Kohli or Sir Don Bradman whose flawless batting made them world class heroes, there also is a significant number of batsmen who are famous for their unconventional and weird style of batting.
2. Kevin Pietersen Another modern-day batting great, Pietersen too had an unusual batting stance and technique. Whenever he came out to bat, Pietersen would stand at the crease with his feet wide apart from each other and played with a high backlit. The distance between his legs would be so much that a small-sized vehicle may easily pass through the gap. Further, he would keep shuffling and walking across the pitch, making it all the more difficult for the bowlers to bowl at him. 3. Lance Klusener Lance Klusener or Lance ‘Zulu’ Klusener was known for his unusual baseball-like batting stance. He would stand with his bat going as high as his shoulders and then clobber the ball with his club-like bat. The high back-lift had allowed him to hit freely. 4. Steve Smith Former Australian captain Steve Smith also had an unorthodox style for batting. He used to stand with a considerable gap separating his feet and used to keep swerving his bat. Moreover, he used to shuffle and walk across the line before playing a shot and used to get them executed, thanks to his high back-lift. His too much shuffling however used to irritate bowlers and viewers sometimes. But this is also the only batting style has made him the top batsman in the world across formats.
