10 best exponents of the cut shot in cricket history

9 Adam Gilchrist

Australian great Adam Gilchrist’s scintillating strokeplay as an opening batsman in LOIs and as a number 7 in Tests, throughout his career was heavily complemented with the excellent deployment of the cut shot.

His backfoot play and the ability to pick up the length quickly made him an excellent player of the cut shot. In addition to that, his fast hands made the ball speed away to the fence most of the time and if not, then it definitely stung the hands of the unfortunate fielder.
