Best Ever Right-Handed Batsmen at Whipping to the Leg Side

[rangeelaraja]

I have not seen any better than Sehwag - he was able to whip even balls on offstump - the speed that Sehwag used to generate for his onside play - have not seen any better. 
 

Other two IMO -  Azharuddin and Mark Waugh.

Tendulkar was the guru. But there were few more guys who were expert at it. Azharuddin. He could also do the reverse by playing from on to off. He had supple wrists and uber light weight bat which enabled him to do. Tendulkar had a 3 lb bat which allowed him to impart tremendous force

[Prabhdeep Singh]

Laxman and Tendulkar did as well occasionally 

[Gollum]

VVS, Martyn, Clarke too come to mind. 

[singhvivek141]

All wristy batters can do that.

I remember Mark Waugh, Tendulkar & VVS doing it consistently.

Fixeruddin too...but remembering him fills me with rage and hatred.

Viv Richards, there was no one better he could flick even outside offstump to legside.

 

Azhar is next one.

 

Both of them developed offside game much later in their careers.

Azza was ridiculously gifted on this specific ability. But yeah, he broke my heart. was such a fan of his in the 80s.

It's the easiest shot to play. Must be plenty of batsmen playing it easily.

Azharuddin and Laxman. 

 

Pietersen did it well too. 

 

 

All the three had the ability to flick balls on off stump with a closed bat face. Knowing that they would be likely to get caught plumb in front of they missed. 

 

And the timing in that too with a closed bat. 

 

Mark Waugh's speciality was more in the on drive. Not the flick/whip.

The progenitor if Azhar and VVS was jaisimha. 

 

Almost effortless flicks.
