IPL 2020: Watch – Rajasthan Royals’ Steve Smith Practices MS Dhoni’s Signature Helicopter Shot

Rajasthan Royals (RR) skipper Steve Smith was seen practising the “Helicopter shot” which is the famous signature shot of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper MS Dhoni. RR opened the IPL 2020 with a win against CSK after putting up a mammoth score of 216 on the board, which CSK fell short of by 16 runs. RR’s Sanju Samson got 74 runs off 32 balls including nine sixes and one four gave Rajasthan a superb start to the game where they made 216 runs. RR skipper Steve Smith also played an important innings of 69 runs.

Faf du Plessis coming at the number three spot was the only big scorer for the Chennai based side, making 72 runs off 37 balls. RR had been written off by many pundits before the season, however, their first performance was good enough to beat 3 time winners CSK.

RR to face KXIP in their next match of IPL 2020

Rajasthan Royals will face Kings XI Punjab in their second match of IPL 2020 at the Sharjah international stadium. The inaugural winners of the IPL tournament have started their campaign on a winning note. They are still without England star all-rounder Ben Stokes who is attending his ailing father in New Zealand, who was earlier diagnosed with brain cancer. RR’s wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler who missed the first match to comply with the quarantine rules will most likely start in their next game at the opening spot for the team.

Jofra Archer was also scintillating with the bat, hitting 4 consecutive sixes in the last over to take their score to the excess of 216.
