Australian cricketer of Indian origin Gurinder Sandhu has been one of the most promising and rising stars of contemporary cricket. It seems the medium-pacer has more skills in his kitty than just accurate bowling.
Double-handed backhand is a tennis shot in which a player swings his racquet across the body with both the hands. It is usually not seen in a game like table tennis but Sandhu nails it perfectly.
Sandhu has been an avid follower of Wimbledon and throughout the tournament he was seen tweeting consistently. On this occasion it seems that he not only followed his passion for the sport but also executed it on an identical but a different platform.
In the above video, Sandhu is seen accomplishing Roger Federer’s signature stroke to perfection. Sandhu was the protagonist behind Australia A domination over India A in the second unofficial Test at Chennai.
