But on Saturday, Dan Christian trumped them all by playing two back-to-back cool shots against Sandeep Sharma at Indore. The Aussie all-rounder, coming to bat late in Rising Pune Supergiant innings, showed his improvisation skills like no one.


In the 20th over, he hit the second ball – a full and wide delivery from Kings XI Punjab bowler — for a four by reaching to it, and getting a fine touch.


He followed it up with another brilliantly impoverished shot, over the wicketkeeper's head. He lifted the ball over the keeper in such a calm manner that it earned plaudits from everyone.



He then hit the next ball for a six, but ended up losing his wicket in the penultimate delivery.


Supergiant managed 163/6, thanks to late onslaught, but lost the match to Kings XI Punjab by six wickets.
