What is your favourite? My 2 personal favourites are KP's switch hit, and Sehwag's uppercut over third man that gets six runs most of the time.

Shivs paddle sweeps for six, did it of Harmison and did it of Nel in the Champions Trophy.

Hayden for me.

I liked Dhoni's reverse straight drive ( He played it only once against Pakistan ) and Astle's forehand shot like Tennis which he played against Aussies. :)

Dave warner cna hit that shot as well as kp

Warner's switch-hit is completely different to KP's. Warner uses the back of the bat, and his movements are nowhere near as exaggerated as KP's. Warner's never hit it in International cricket either, KP has, and hit it for six. Far more impressive than playing it in Grade cricket in NSW.

Obviously it's KP's switch hit for me, although McCullum walking down the wicket and hooking the fast bowler for six is a close second. With KP's reverse sweep six of Muralitharan in 3rd. That Dhoni windmill shot is immense as well, such incredibly wrist work, love that stroke.

Gilly's golf shot. Look on youtube and search "Gilly Goes for Gold" and you will know what I'm talking about. It's like half reverse sweep, half on drive, but directed toward midwicket.

Mine is Uthappa hitting a six off some Australian bowler in semis of T20 world championship.
Yuvraj and Uthappa were playing at that time. That wassa yorker bowl.He put down the bat and just he gave some potentian to the bat. That was gone Directly above the sight screen in Durban.
I think the bowler was S.Clark
