Former India opener turned commentator, Aakash Chopra attempted to copy the helicopter shot, the signature shot of the former Indian skipper MS Dhoni, in the practice nets but didn’t succeed. However, many have tried to copy it across the world, but no one could make perfection as Dhoni did it on the field.

Meanwhile, in the first two attempts, Chopra used his perfect body balance and timing to connect the ball from the middle of the bat. It looked more like a flick shot rather than a helicopter one. However, on the third attempt, he ended up edging the ball behind the stumps. Though he tried his hands at such a tough cricketing shot, it showed only MS Dhoni could play it with utter perfection.
