XtraTime Web Desk: Former Indian skipper MS Dhoni’s helicopter shot is very popular over the cricket fraternity. Australian power hitter Glenn Maxwell tried to imitate Dhoni’s signature shot.
Maxwell recalls dropping Dhoni’s catch in one of the matches. He also said the former Indian skipper dispatched the very next delivery from James Faulkner for a six.
Maxwell then tried to imitate the shot in the video. Watch it for yourself:
