A "pull shot" is a batting technique used in the sport of cricket. It involves hitting a short-pitched ball, typically bowled at the batsman, 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 control. To perform a pull shot effectively, the batsman must quickly shift their weight onto the back foot and aim to strike the ball with a strong, horizontal bat face. This technique can result in boundaries if executed well, making it a popular choice among aggressive batsmen.
