NEW DELHI: 'That's mammoth.' 'The ball travels downtown.' 'It's gigantic, enormous.' 'It's out of the park.' 'Ah! That's monstrous.' Words like these will echo across the commentary boxes and billions of TV sets across the world, as the T20 World Cup progresses and the power-hitters across teams start flexing their muscles.
With their ability to launch a willow-attack from the word go, the 12 teams in the Super 12s all have power-hitters who can turn the game on its head. 'Get set go' is the mantra for them. If set at the crease, the power hitters are a nightmare for any bowler, be it a spinner or pacer.
