The pull shot is a batting technique used in the sport of cricket. It involves hitting a short-pitched ball, typically bowled at a fast pace, by swinging the bat horizontally across the body. This shot is executed when the ball is delivered on the leg side, allowing the batsman to generate power and send the ball to the boundary. To perform a pull shot effectively, the batsman must quickly assess the ball's trajectory and position themselves accordingly. Timing and footwork are crucial, as the batsman needs to pivot on the back foot to create the necessary leverage for a strong hit.
