XtraTime Web Desk: We have a lot of innovative shots in world cricket. MS Dhoni's helicopter shot, AB de Villiers's reverse sweep, Kavin Petersen's switch hit and many more. Young Indian batsman Sarfaraz Khan's scoop shot is another one that can be talked about. His crucial knock of 49 runs in the IPL match against Rajasthan Royals helped Kings XI Punjab win the game on Monday. His unorthodox scoop shot in the second ball of 20th over stunned everyone during the away team's batting. It was so unpredictable by the bowler as well that Ben Stokes too got surprised with the shot. After the match Sarfaraz opened up about his scoop shot."This is a game of bluffs - I knew it wasn't a slower one that the bowler was bowling, he bowled the normal one and I was ready for it and managed to play the ramp. The bowler bluffed me a few times, and I him a few times. My dad is also a cricketer and his feedback has helped me a lot in life," said Sarrfaraz.
