India vs Bangladesh: What Hardik Pandya’s nonchalant no-look shot says about the comeback man

When the cameras zoomed onto his face, Hardik Pandya’s jaws snapped the gum with a theatrical flourish. The stroke he had executed exemplified his nonchalant coolness – a ramp off a pacer over the wicketkeeper’s head, without even looking at the ball or its eventual destination.

When a batsman has played the shot from right under the eye-line, with the ball almost kissing the chest, their eyes would reflexively travel with the ball, till it reaches its eventual destination.
