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.

          How the success of the USC basketball team                        benefits the football team. For the first time since 2008, USC entered the Associated Press Top 25 basketball poll this week, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the Trojans.   Never mind that Coach Andy Enfield is in the third year of his contract and has a lot riding on this season's results. Or that in the previous two seasons, the Trojans had only won five games in the Pacific-12 Conference.   The Trojans' 15-3 record is an antidote to the football team's recent struggles. After losing to Wisconsin in the Holiday Bowl just three weeks ago, USC had their second-worst football season since 2001.   Since then, Head Coach Clay Helton has put together a coaching staff that includes defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast, special teams coach John Baxter, and running backs coach Tommie Robin...
