[WATCH] Kiwi pacer imitates India's 360 with a signature Supla Shot

New Zealand quick Adam Milne was spotted practising with his Texas Super Kings (TSK) squad members during a routine training session for the upcoming edition of the Major Cricket League (MLC). Although bowling is his primary skill set, Milne, for a change, was getting some batting practice in the nets. 

In a recent video, which has now become viral, Milne brought back the memories of India's Suryakumar Yadav. Surya, also known as SKY, is highly regarded for his inventive strokeplay. The Kiwi pacer took a leaf out of his book and executed a near-flawless Supla Shot with his back foot up in the air.

That shot triggered an instant reaction from his Black Caps teammate Daryll Mitchell. Mitchell will also take part in the upcoming MLC tournament and will feature for the Texas Super Kings. He was accompanied by two other teammates, and they instantly started clapping and chanting "Shot Surya". 

The Supla Shot is one of the classiest signature shots of Suryakumar Yadav. It is a shot which he has executed with incredible success in the limited-overs format, both domestically and internationally. With his power and excellent hand-eye coordination, Surya is comfortably able to deposit the ball over fine leg at will. 

But Milne made that shot look so easy while batting in the nets. Being a low-order batter, executing a shot like that is surely commendable and needs adequate appreciation. TSK's campaign will begin on June 14 when they take on MI New York in the second fixture of the MLC 2025 league. It will be Milne's maiden appearance in this league. Previously, the Kiwi pacer was seen in action in the recently concluded PSL. He featured in the final two games of the tournament for Karachi Kings and had very little success as he finished wicketless.

At the international level, Milne was last seen in action for the Black Caps in 2024. He played his last ODI match against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, which ended in a washout, whereas his last T20I appearance came against Australia at home, where he bagged figures of 1-20 in a rain-affected fixture which New Zealand went on to lose on DLS.
