Watch: Aakash Chopra Tries to Copy MS Dhoni's Signature Helicopter Shot

Former India cricketer, Aakash Chopra tried to copy the helicopter shot, the signature shot of 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, Aakash 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 time, 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.

Moreover, during the video, Aakash Chopra admitted the different shot was not his cup of tea. The veteran MS Dhoni can only play it.

Here is the video of Chopra’s attempts:
