When this shot was aired and called the ‘Supla’ shot, it sounded good,” Suryakumar Yadav told JioCinema.

“The story behind this shot is beautiful. I used to play cricket with my school friends on a hard concrete track and there was a 20 meter boundary for the offside and about 90-100 meters for the right side. We used to use rubber They used to hit the ball from my knees to my head, so if you wanted to score runs without getting hit by the ball, this shot was used many times in the ball game and now it’s a ball. It’s already in my muscle memory.
Hitting the ‘Supla’ shot is tricky, but Yadav has figured out when and how to use it when the situation calls for it.
“Actually, when I bat ‘Supla’, I try to use my body to catch the ball. Whenever I stand up to bat, I try to be on the line of the ball. If you miss the line of the ball, just It’s hard to hit the ball. I go in with the intention of hitting it as much as I can, having fun and having fun, even if it’s the first ball, if it’s in the crease, it’s going to go out, so, back field. Members actually don’t matter to me.
