“My body is a little powerful, and that has come to me naturally. I also practise hitting 100-150 sixes every day, so the bat speed develops if you keep doing it. I have been practicing a lot for the last five to six months, so it has come into my game,” said Mukul Choudhary.

Practised That Shot Since Childhood - MS Dhoni Inspires Mukul Choudhary

Mukul Choudhary played the famous helicopter shot against Vaibhav Arora in the 17th over. The young batter credited former Indian captain MS Dhoni for inspiring his aggressive finishing style. Choudhary added that hitting a perfect yorker for a six can break the confidence of fast bowlers.

“I have practised that shot since childhood. I always liked that, and the way MS Dhoni finished an innings. He used to hit a six even off a yorker. If you even hit that kind of a delivery for six, the bowler thinks about doing something different,” said Choudhary.

Lucknow Super Giants were in deep trouble, needing 54 runs from 24 balls with seven wickets down and only the tail left to support Mukul. He had a slow start, scoring just one run from his first five deliveries, but then smashed 53 runs off his next 22 balls.

He Showed Faith In Me - Mukul Choudhary Praises Justin Langer

Lucknow Super Giants bought Mukul Choudhary for nearly 3 crore rupees. Head coach Justin Langer said that he could turn Choudhary into a dangerous lower-order batter in India. Choudhary also thanked Langer for spending time with him during regular net sessions before the tournament.

"He's so young, and he's got that look in his eyes. He's hungry," Langer said. "You know when you first come in, you try so hard, and [this victory will] just be a massive moment in his life and his career."

"When a big coach like him says something like that about you, I'm sure he has seen something in you," Choudhary said. "He showed faith in me, so it was my time to repay it. During practice, he spends 10-15 minutes exclusively with me every day. Whatever he taught me turned out to be helpful. So I just did my job after he trusted me to do it."
