During the match against Peshawar Zalmi, the Afghan lad scored unbeaten 27 off 15 balls, including a winning six over midwicket that helped Lahore Qalandars win the contest on Sunday. Rashid’s splendid six was another version of ‘Helicopter Shot’ that came in the 19th over when Lahore needed four runs to register the victory.
The delivery was pitched outsi⭕de🥃 off, but Rashid came near the ball and slapped it around the cow corner in a sitting position for a maximum.

After the match, Rashid, who will be playing in just one more PSL game before joining Afghaniℱstan for the series against Zimbabwe, reacted to his incredible shot and termed it as a mini-helicopter.
“I call that shot the mini-helicopter; just try to go for it. The best thing is to finish it off with the bat, and I got an opportunity today,” said Rashid as quoted by Hindustan Times.
