Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan has often hogged the limelight for his brilliance with the ball. He is one the best bowlers of the limited-overs cricket at the moment, who is known to trouble the top batsmen going around in the world cricket. But these days he has been regarded as the all-rounder thanks to his heroics with the willow. Rashid has made a name for him by playing the helicopter shot in the ongoing Mzansi Super League (MSL) which went viral on social media in a jiffy.
Rashid is set to feature in the upcoming season of the Big Bash League (BBL) for Adelaide Strikers. Last year, he also helped them to win the title as well and now has extended his contract with the Strikers. The flamboyant leg-spinner is the X-factor which every team would love to possess and he will be the key for their success even this year while his batting is an added weapon now for the Afghan cricketer.
The young Afghan leg-spinner was trending on social media recently after playing the MS Dhoni-invented helicopter shot quite a few times. Even the former Australian cricketer Dean Jones was delighted to watch him superbly bat while playing for the Durban Heat during the ongoing MSL. To extend the conversation, Rashid expressed his excitement to play the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

Soon after his tweet, Dean Jones requested him to unleash a bigger helicopter shot during the BBL this season. However, Khan was quick to respond saying that he will play the Afghani helicopter during the Australian T20 festival. Having said that, the 20-year-old would look to concentrate on his bowling first and then, if the team needs, will be contributing with the bat lower down the order.
Here’s the thread of the conversation:
