This shot learned by looking at Pant!
Deepti Sharma further said, “I did a lot of work on sweep shots in the beginning, and it helps a lot on such a pitch. I practiced a lot of sixes with a hand, I picked up this shot with Rishabh Pant. We have played first in England and we enjoy the condition here.”
