However, Rashid Khan hit a maximum in style, which was a helicopter shot similar to that of CSK skipper MS Dhoni. Meanwhile, the second phase of the Indian Premier League is just around the corner. It will be followed by the T20 World Cup as well which will begin soon after the IPL. With Afghanistan’s participation has finally confirmed, the team will try to do well and leave a mark in the mega event.

And, their key player Rashid Khan is going to play an important role as well. He has the ability to be a gamechanger, not just with the ball but with the bat as well. And, he is known for his six-hitting abilities as well. Recently, in the Vitality T20 blast, his batting made headlines. It happened during the clash between two popular teams – Sussex and Hampshire.
In that game earlier, Sussex won the toss and elected to bat first as the captain Luke Wright had confidence on his side. But they didn’t have a good start. Rashid Khan tried his best and in the 19th over of the innings, it was a game-changer. While Scott Currie was bowling, Khan welcomed him with a cracking boundary. However, the next delivery was sent to the stands that too with a helicopter shot which has become popular for none other than former India captain MS Dhoni.
