Batters have always set high standards for themselves, particularly when it comes to playing a wide range of shots. Fans have always enjoyed seeing batters pull off such incredible shots. The Indian Premier League has witnessed players executing innovative shots like a hot knife through butter,

It is all possible because of massive practice. In the modern era, where batters are looking to score runs at the rate of knots, they make sure that they play some best shots. At times, batsman tends to get frustrated after failing to hit a boundary or a six.

During the 38th game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings, Nitish Rana was clearly caught on camera using a cuss word. The incident happened during the 18th over when the southpaw tried to hit a boundary off Deepak Chahar in the fifth ball of that over.
