Cricket is a funny game  and is one where innovation always have a big impact,  they say . The game of cricket, nowadays, is evolving with time and has seen innovations, from rules to the style of shot-selection. And the same was on display during a recent local  match.

 

In a video going viral on social media, a kid was seen playing a unique shot as he took the strike. The young kid dived forwards to hit a shot before the ball landed on the pitch, which fans called to be similar to sweep shot.
