5 batsmen with the most unusual batting stance

3. Fawad Alam (Pakistan)

Fawad Alam’s batting stance is incredibly weird

Despite having made his international debut for Pakistan back in 2007, Fawad Alam has still been unable to find himself a permanent spot in the national team. With just 3 Tests, 38 ODIs and 24 T20Is under his belt, the 30-year old’s career has not quite gone the way it was expected to go.

Rather than his batting prowess, Alam has gained popularity more because of his highly awkward batting stance. While the bowler charges in to deliver the ball, the southpaw stands way outside his leg stump and then takes a giant step towards the stumps just when the former is in his delivery stride.

Fawad Alam is often criticised for his strange batting technique which is looked at as the main reason behind his inability to make it big so far.
