The young Indian wicket-keeper batter, Rishabh Pant smashed a one-handed six which looked like a unique one-handed version of the helicopter shot that MS Dhoni made famous when he came into the scene. Rishabh Pant was heard asking for a heavy bat just before he hit that shot in the 18th over of India’s innings in the second T20I against West Indies at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
