To play this stroke, the batsman rotates the bat like a propeller to generate power on to the bat and hit the ball with his entire body on air for a moment</p> http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14763-dhoni.jpg Helicopter shot - 03 January 2012 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:28:28 +0530 http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/kevin/ <p><a href="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/kevin/" title="Palti hit/Switch hit - 03 January 2012"> <img src="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14762-kevin.jpg" alt="Palti hit/Switch hit - 03 January 2012" style="border: 2px solid #000;" /> </a></p><p>Palti hit/Switch hit - 03 January 2012</p><p>This modern day cricket stroke is a variation of the reverse sweep. The batsman changes his stance from right-hand to a left-hand or vice-versa to hit the ball after the bowler has already started his run-up. England batsman Kevin Pietersen was one of the first to execute this shot successfully</p> http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14762-kevin.jpg Palti hit/Switch hit - 03 January 2012 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:28:28 +0530 http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/waugh/ <p><a href="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/waugh/" title="Slog sweep - 03 January 2012"> <img src="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14761-waugh.jpg" alt="Slog sweep - 03 January 2012" style="border: 2px solid #000;" /> </a></p><p>Slog sweep - 03 January 2012</p><p>It's usually a six hitting stroke directed towards the square-leg executed by using the orthodox kneeling position of a sweep.

This strange looking shot is played against a fast bowler and requires the batsman to scoop the ball over the head of the wicket keeper</p> http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14760-dilshan.jpg Dilscoop - 03 January 2012 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:28:28 +0530 http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/andy-flower/ <p><a href="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/andy-flower/" title="Reverse sweep - 03 January 2012"> <img src="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14759-andy-flower.jpg" alt="Reverse sweep - 03 January 2012" style="border: 2px solid #000;" /> </a></p><p>Reverse sweep - 03 January 2012</p><p>Andy Flower of Zimbabwe has been considered one of the finest executors of this stroke, which is a cross-batted sweep played in the opposite direction to the conventional sweep</p> http://www.mid-day.com/photos/plog-content/thumbs/sports/different-strokes/rss/14759-andy-flower.jpg Reverse sweep - 03 January 2012 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 13:28:28 +0530 http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/players/ <p><a href="http://www.mid-day.com/photos/sports/different-strokes/players/" title="Unorthodox cricket shots such as the reverse sweep, scoop and switch hits have gained popularity thanks to the emergence of T20 cricket.
