NEW DELHI: Former England captain Kevin Pietersen is credited with bringing the switch-hit shot in cricket to the forefront.
Pietersen was renowned for his ability to play the switch-hit, a shot where a right-handed batsman changes his stance to become a left-handed batsman (or vice versa) just before the ball is delivered. This unconventional stroke allowed him to manipulate field settings and score runs in areas where fielders were not positioned.
