Well, you surely remember Tillakaratne Dilshan’s famous scoop shot, which became widely known as the ‘Dilscoop’. Now, what’s trending is Rajat Patidar’s version of the scoop in the ongoing match against MI—one that’s surely on its way to being dubbed the ‘Patidar Scoop’. He pulled it off against a delivery from Hardik Pandya, and the shot was so impressive that it even left Virat Kohli in awe. The run machine couldn’t help but appreciate the brilliance of the stroke.
First got hit, then smashed a boundary!
Patidar totally thumped Pandya—in fact, he first got hit and then smashed the very next ball. Better to say, he counterattacked in style. On a good length, near the tramline on off, he shuffled across to scoop it over short fine leg but couldn’t get inside the line in time. He adjusted brilliantly by getting his bat under the ball and scooped it over the keeper for a boundary. And then came praise from all over.
