As the T20 World Cup looms, New Zealand's Glenn Phillips is making waves with his pioneering left-handed batting technique. Phillips, who is renowned for his inventive play, is refining his approach as a strategic weapon against left-arm spin bowlers, raising eyebrows across the cricketing world.

Recently, Phillips drew considerable attention with an outstanding performance for Otago in the New Zealand Super Smash, where he pummeled an unbeaten 90 against Central Districts. His dismantling of left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox was particularly striking, executed in a left-handed manner that included a remarkable six over extra cover.
