Watch: David Warner invents new shot after switch hit goes wrong, gets a boundary
David Warner produced an inexplicable innovation during his outstanding knock against Sunrisers Hyderabad on Thursday. Prepared to play a switch hit, Warner turned the bat in his hand to go over the left-handers third man, but a smart Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled it onto his original leg side. With the off-side out of reach with his new stance, Warner turned to dab the ball to the leg side (right hander's off side) to fetch a four through the original fine leg position.
The commentators and fans were left dumbfounded by the ridiculous innovation from the Australian left-handed opener, who remained unbeaten on 92 for Delhi Capitals even as Rovman Powell completed a rout in the death overs with a 35-ball 67.
Delhi hammered a 200-plus total as SRH looked clueless despite Umran Malik clocking a record 157kph delivery in the season.
