Ricky Ponting is the first name that comes to mind, but who else absolutely destroyed fast bowlers when they dropped it short?

Many people think Viv Richards is the best hook shot player in cricket history because he was so good at hitting fast bowlers. Ricky Ponting and Virender Sehwag were also great at hitting the hook with both power and accuracy.

A lot of cricket experts think Ricky Ponting's hook shot was one of the best ever. The shot looked easy because he had quick reflexes and a strong pull and hook against fast bowlers. Viv Richards and Virender Sehwag are two other great players who were known for this shot. They were both very good at short-pitched bowling.
