Be it batting or bowling, T20 cricket is usually known for the elements of innovation which accompany it. A similar example of innovation happened in the last over of Rising Pune Supergiant’s innings.

Dan Christian was on the strike, ready to face the ultimate over, which was being bowled by Kings XI Punjab’s Sandeep Sharma. The right-arm medium pacer was bowling around the wicket to the right-hand batsman. The ploy was implied so that the batsman is denied any room outside the off-stump.

Sharma bowled a fuller delivery outside the leg-stump and watch the video too see how a street-smart Christian replied.

For Christ's sake – How's that for innovation! https://t.co/dBceeuWw6x
