Reverse sweep
The reverse sweep is one of the toughest shots in the game to execute and requires much practice before one can truly master it. Pakistani cricketer Mushtaq Mohammad invented the shot in the 1970s and it has been a popular shot ever since.
It is the opposite of a traditional sweep shot and thus automatically reverses the entire field, making it the nightmare for an opposition's skipper.
Modern superstar AB De Villiers is one of the best exponents of the shot, while a number of Pakistani cricketers have also adapted the shot pretty well over the years.
The reverse sweep gave birth to another shot, the switch hit.
