Rashid Khan Does an MS Dhoni, Smashes Ball to Roof with Helicopter Shot
Rashid Khan, when not tormenting batting line-ups for his national side, has been lighting up T20 leagues across the world with his fabulous performances. It isn’t just the ball that has been doing the talking for him anymore, as the youngster has turned into quite the finisher, coming in later in the innings and striking some lusty blows for his franchises.
However, on Wednesday, in the T10 League clash against Pakhtoons for Maratha Arabians, the leg-spinner took his finishing abilities up a notch.
Against the tall Mohammad Irfan, Rashid decided to emulate one of the greatest finishers of all time MS Dhoni, unleashing a ‘Helicopter Shot’ for six! The ball, like the former Indian captain’s has done several times, went on to hit the roof of the Sharjah stadium.
The youngster shared a clip of that moment via his official Twitter account.
Reacting to the clip, another youngster on the map and fellow leg-spinner, Sandeep Lamichhane let his thoughts on the shot known very clearly.
Unfortunately for Rashid, his side was on the losing end of the clash as Pakhtoons chased down the 126-run target with four balls to spare.

Confident we are going to win Kerala: Shashi Tharoor
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Thursday expressed confidence in the victory of the United Democratic Front (UDF) in Kerala, saying the Congress-led alliance will win more than 75 seats out of the total 140 in the state.
Tharoor, who hails from Kerala, said he was not surprised to see the results of the exit polls, most of which predicted a victory for the UDF that has been out of power for 10 years in the state.
"We have been on the ground. I have campaigned in 59 constituencies across 12 districts out of 14. I was very confident we are going to win.
"Everything that I have picked up from not just my party colleagues and workers but also from other observers, media and others have always convinced me that we were going to score a comfortable win of above 75 seats. And all the (exit) polls have confirmed the same thing," he told reporters here.
The Thiruvananthapuram MP said he was not surprised to see the results of the exit polls but in general he was not a big fan of exit polls in India.
"Because ours is not purely a homogenous society. We have to take into account gender issue, caste issue, class issue, regional disparities. You never get a convincingly large enough sample to give an accurate poll and now there is the additional complication that we have heard about in West Bengal this year that many people are unwilling to answer the questions of the pollsters," he said.
The Congress leader said normally, it used to be below 10 per cent that people said that they would not answer.
"Even if you are a reputable exit pollster, in Bengal, one polling company has said 60 per cent of people refused to answer. So, what is the worth of a poll where 60 per cent of your respondents have not answered," he said.
Several exit polls on Wednesday predicted a comeback by the Congress-led UDF in Kerala after 10 years, dethroning the CPI(M)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF).
Polling for the 140-member Kerala assembly was held on April 9. Results of assembly elections in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Puducherry, besides Kerala, will be announced on May 4.
