Gautam Gambhir and Deep Dasgupta bat for switch-hit; also want bowlers to be allowed to 'change arms' mid-way

Gautam Gambhir reckoned that switch-hit is pure innovation and not many people have the skill to execute the difficult shot and it should surely be allowed to function in the game.

"Switch-hit shouldn't be banned, its pure innovation, I would want that. I have played cricket, I never had the ability to play switch-hit, forget about the shot. I couldn't even pick the bat right-handed. I remember the first time I saw it was when I was fielding at the short-leg on the bowling of Harbhajan Singh and Kevin Pietersen played it, and I couldn't image someone could hit the ball so long with a switch-hit. There are not many people who can play the shot, when there is ability, why not allow it?," Gambhir said in a video uploaded by Espn Cricinfo. 

"Completely agree with Gautam Gambhir, there are few people who can acquire the skill. Switch-hit has been around for a while, but not many people can play it, so allow it. However, also allow the bowlers to switch their arms, if a right-arm bowler switches his arm mid-way and bowl left-handed, if he can bowl accurately and be effective, so that should be allowed. Bowlers should tell whether they are bowling over the wicket or round the wicket, but not the arm they are going to bowl with. Switch-hit has been tried because its legal, so changing bowling arms should also be allowed and made legal too," Deep Dasgupta opined.
