Rohit Sharma reminds to the world about best puller

India’s limited overs vice captain and one of the modern day legend in Rohit Sharma is a terrific player of the short ball. He is the #2 ranked batsman in the ODIs just behind the greatest of all time in Virat Kohli.

The iconic front foot pull shot that Rohit Sharma plays with ease is one shot that can never be forgotten by any ardent cricket fan. The pull shot he plays is as good as anyone who have played this shot in the cricket history.

The hit-man who is well aware of his ability to play one of the best pull shot ever has quoted the ICC’s tweet and replied in a cheeky manner.
