Former India captain and best wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is famous in the cricket world for his helicopter shot. Many batsmen tried to make helicopter shots like him, but hardly anyone has found mastery like him. But these days, seeing the shot made by the batsman of Islamabad’s team in a match of Pakistan Super League, the memories of Dhoni’s helicopter shot were instantly refreshed.
To elaborate, under the Pakistan Super League, a match was going on between two teams named Peshawar Zalmi and Islamabad United. During this match, Rahman Ullah Gurbaz, who originally played for Afghanistan and Islamabad team, hit a blazing helicopter shot on the second ball of the 15th over of the match. The ball went straight across the boundary for 6 runs. Seeing this spectacular helicopter shot, the commentators did not get tired of praising Gurbaaz.
