Why is the straight drive considered his trademark shot? Why not the backfoot punch drive?? The latter is much more difficult to execute and hence a rarity in all forms of cricket. It requires a lot more skill, split-second and precise judgement of the length. And yet Sachin added breathtaking beauty to precision. There used to be a collection video of his backfoot punches. Going through that collection made me wonder who did it better than him? Why is this shot not his trademark??
