The helicopter shot is one the trademark MS Dhoni things that we all love in cricket. The fanfare of the shot extends to Indian cricket team as well. All-rounder, Hardik Pandya absolutely loves the helicopter shot and we have seen him play the difficult shot in IPL successfully as well.

After missing out on the West Indies tour, Hardik Pandya is preparing himself for the three-match T20I series against South Africa that will commence from September 15. Pandya has been named in India’s squad for the series.

Pandya shared a video from his net session where he can be seen middling the ball in all parts of the ground but one shot that stood out was the helicopter shot that Pandya has been trying to master for some time now. He doesn’t play this shot in international cricket as much as he does in IPL and perhaps, that is the reason why he is practicing the shot so much of late.

The Baroda cricketer, tweeted, “Solid session in the nets today. Can’t wait to join up with the boys.”

India’s squad for 3 T20Is against South Africa: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma (vc), KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar, Rahul Chahar, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar and Navdeep Saini.
