Vote: Name Dhawan's incredible shot

It had players, commentators and fans bamboozled, now it needs a name

India opener Shikhar Dhawan's extraordinary cut shot has sent social media into a frenzy, with people in search for a fitting name to describe the unique stroke.

Dhawan cut Australia allrounder John Hastings over backward point for six, connecting with the ball while both of his feet were off the ground.

Channel Nine's Wide World of Sports commentary team struggled to describe the epic stroke before settling up on ‘The Leapfrog’, while fans on Twitter offered their opinions, "the kangaroo" one example.

Here are six of the ‘best’ options we have collated, so now it's up the fans to decide.
