New Zealand are on a roll and it seems that their retired skipper Brendon McCullum's absence is not hurting them as badly as it was thought to be. After making a modest score of 142, the Kiwis managed to restrict the Aussies to 134 and thus won two games in a row at the World T20 in India.
Batting at No. 3, New Zealand all-rounder Colin Munro, known for his aggressive shot-making, played a cheeky stroke, which doesn't have any description in the books of the sport.

In the 13th over of the game, the left handed Munro was at the crease with Maxwell sending down his third over. In the very first ball, Munro decided to try out something different and made his intentions clear by setting himself up for a reverse sweep. Maxwell was at his wittiest best as he fired in a short and widish delivery on leg stump hoping to fool the batsman with his trick. However, Munro who had already changed his grip, had Plan B up his sleeves. He stayed put and just like a right-hander, cut the back of a length delivery past short fine leg.
Absolutely incredible stuff from Colin Munro at #WT20!

The kiwi tried another reverse sweep in that very over and got a four over the head of the cover fielder.
