VIDEO | David Warner puts on ambidextrous show in nets

Although it is usually attributed to former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, the switch hit is believed to have been first executed by South African Jonty Rhodes. Rhodes smashed a switch-hit six off Darren Lehman during an ODI between the Proteas and the Aussies on March 27, 2002. Pietersen then pulled it off, for the first of many times in his career, against the legendary Muttiah Muralitharan in a Test match against Sri Lanka in May 2006. Since their retirement, Warner has taken over the baton of switch-hitting in the last few years and, many feels, has perfected it. 

Ahead of the three-match T20 series against the Lankans, Warner decided that he wanted to take it up a notch and have even more fun with the bowlers during the nets session on Saturday. In a video shared via Twitter, the 33-year-old was seen batting right-handed and left-handed for alternative deliveries, both to pacy throwdowns and spin, with relative ease.
