Two-handed scoops
Short balls outside off fired in at 135 kph used to be square-cut blissfully for four. By those who cared about their jawlines, of course. What's that thing Jos Buttler pulled off against Rising Pune Supergiant? A premeditated scoop while ambling around his seventh stump, and the ball went crashing into the advertisement hoardings. A scoop delicate and perfect in its execution to make any cook - except his former captain, of course - beam with pride.

It was, you know. You may have noticed, what with the commentators relentlessly going on about history being made the whole time. At times it seemed like everything about the match was historic.
