Bengaluru, Nov 7 (UNI) India's 360-degree batsman Suryakumar Yadav said he perfected his trademark scoop shot while playing rubber-ball cricket.
"You got to understand what the bowler is going to bowl at that time, which is a little pre-determined at that moment. I practiced that stroke a lot when I used to play rubber-ball cricket. So, you got to be thinking what the bowler is thinking at that time and if the field is in, I just back myself to go there," he told Star Sports' show 'Follow the Blues.'
To play scoop shots, it is also necessary to know the distance of the boundary behind the batsman and play it according to the pace of the ball, Suryakumar said.
