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.

Two-handed gestures
MS Dhoni was a DRS sceptic all his career, and his first open advocacy of the system bit back. His mock review signal from behind the stumps, in response to what seemed like a howler non-lbw call, was deemed a "minor code of conduct breach" by the match referee. Most times the pigeon, this time the statue.
