WATCH: Karun Nair recreates ' Lagaan' moment in Pune

The primary agenda of any batsman in the shortest format of the game is the add maximum runs on the board and in a bid to do so, most of them focus on new inventions. AB de Villiers and Brendon McCullum are considered as the pioneers of innovative hitting techniques.

The primary agenda of any batsman in the shortest format of the game is to add maximum runs on the board and in a bid to do so, most of them focus on new inventions. AB de Villiers and Brendon McCullum are considered as the pioneers of innovative hitting techniques.

However, every batsman in the current era experiments in risky shot-making to fetch maximum runs. The batsman tries to find creative ways to send the ball past the fielder.

Karun Nair of the Kings XI Punjab took the same risk during their high-voltage encounter against Chennai Super Kings in Pune as his team desperately needed runs on the board to keep their campaign alive.

In the 19^th over, Karun Nair reversed-switched and hit the full-length delivery from Dwayne Bravo over the short third man, the ball travelled with the speed of light, touching the fence like a tracer bullet.
