MS Dhoni's Signature Helicopter Shot Gets a "Special" Twist by Rashid Khan

Rashid Khan, an Afghanistan spinner, is one of the best limited-overs spinners in the world, particularly in the Twenty20 format. Rashid, who is ranked second among T20I bowlers, is also a capable hitter who can knock the ball a long way. Rashid, who plays for the Adelaide Strikers in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL), has shown flashes of his batting brilliance during the T20 competition. On Wednesday, the BBL's official Twitter account shared a video of Rashid executing MS Dhoni's iconic 'helicopter shot' while playing a different sport — golf.

Rashid isn't the first one to attempt to imitate Dhoni's stroke. During a BBL game in 2019, the Afghanistan leg-spinner tried his hand at the helicopter shot. Rashid took the helicopter shot off Melbourne Renegades bowler Kane Richardson for his Adelaide Strikers team.

 

Last year, Rashid shared a video of himself playing a spectacular helicopter shot behind the wickets during one of Afghanistan's training sessions. Rashid's drive went over the slip cordon, but a classic helicopter shot would go on the leg side around the mid-wicket and long-on region.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board announced Rashid Khan as the new T20I captain on Tuesday. Rashid praised the Afghan board in a tweet shortly after being named captain, saying it is a dream trip that would be made possible by the supporters' support.

Sha'Carri Richardson, the American sprint phenom, will not compete in the women's 100m at the Olympics after accepting a one-month suspension after testing positive for marijuana at the US trials last month. The 21-year-old was considered one of the favourites for a gold medal after setting the sixth fastest time in history this year, but her disqualification means that her triumph at the US trials is no longer valid. Richardson's Olympic ambition, though, may yet be realised if she is selected to compete in the US 4x100m relay squad in Tokyo. The best four finishers in the 100m trials, as well as two discretionary picks, can make up a squad of six for the race, according t...
