India’s Rishabh Pant who is making his return to T20I cricket after a considerable gap made eyes turn with a shot for the ages. The southpaw has made it a habit to come up with the most outrageous of shots. Not so long ago did Pant reverse-sweep James Anderson for a four in the fourth test in Ahmedabad. He has only gone and followed it up with yet another shot mirroring that he hit off Anderson, this time against Jofra Archer.
“Holy smokes! Pant has just played the greatest shot that’s ever been played in cricket. Reverse sweeping/lifting Archer with a brand new white ball at 90mph for 6” Former England Cricketer Kevin Peterson tweeted.
