Top 5 unorthodox shots invented by the players in cricket

#4 The Marillier shot (Douglas Marillier)

Marillier played the ramp shot to perfection

Dougie Marillier did not have a very long international career but his name is well-known in the cricketing circles.

The Zimbabwe batsman is famous for his unorthodox ramp shot against the fast bowlers. Off-late, the shot has become a regular one in T20 cricket.

The shot is, fittingly, named after him and is played by flicking a full-length delivery over the fine leg region. The ramp shot requires a lot of practice and is not the easiest of shots

Among the modern-day cricketers, AB de Villiers and Brendon McCullum play this shot on a regular basis. Dinesh Karthik is among the Indian players who consistently play the ramp shot.
