In the recently-concluded Big Bash League 2019-20 season, Rashid Khan has not only surprised with his bowling attack but also was the handy contributor with the bat as a lower-order batter. He also came in news for his special ‘camel bat’ from which he smashed boundaries. Now, he has again gained the attention of fans after trying to replicate MS Dhoni’s helicopter shot.
Afghanistan star is a very handy hitter lower down the order. He is capable of clearing boundary ropes with ease.
Recently, taking to Twitter, he shared a short clip of him playing an inside out drive while at the end he spins the bat similar to what he Dhoni does.
He then questioned his fans, if his shot looks similar to helicopter shot:
Do you call it a helicopter?? I think soo, Rashid captioned his video.

Sunrisers Hyderabad also shares Rashid Khan’s helicopter shot:
However, the shot was not similar to the one former Indian captain is famous for. Though the fans were surprised to see Rashid trying the shot.
Some surely made the fun of the spinner. His franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad also shared the video on their official social media account.

The much-awaited popular T20 League will go underway from 29th March. The first clash will be between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
In the IPL 2020 auction, SRH invested in youngsters and bought the player who can strengthen their middle order.
They clinched the service of India’s Under 19 captain Priyam Garg and also bought Fabian Allen and Shaun Marsh.
Hyderabad has lifted the IPL title in 2016, defeating Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the finals. With likes of Kane Williamson, David Warner, Rashid, and Mohammad Nabi, the franchise is a strong contender to lift the title in the upcoming IPL season.
