Steve Smith shares the right technique for the pull shot

Recently, in a video on his official YouTube channel, Steve Smith revealed his thought process about how to execute a perfect pull shot. Smith also shared his personal experience playing the shot during the course of his career.

"It's a shot that has got me a lot of runs," Smith said. "I think you can play it to so many different balls. So, a ball that's just short of a length, if you pick the length up well, you can get back and pull it from around your waist or if they bowl you a good bouncer, you can still pull that, so it's quite demoralizing for a fast bowler."
