Answer

Batsmanship, specifically the technique of leg glance, was one of the technical innovations introduced by W.G Grace in the 1870s.

This elegant and effective shot allowed batters to score runs from deliveries that would otherwise be difficult to handle, revolutionizing the art of batting and leaving a lasting impact on the sport.
