Rashid Khan Recreates Iconic Shots Of MS Dhoni And AB de Villiers In MLC 2024
MI’s decision to promote Rashid up the order turned out to be a masterstroke. Rashid Khan walked out to bat at number 5 after the dismissal of Shayan Jahangir. He formed a brilliant partnership with USA batter Monank Patel. He took the game by storm by smashing Dwayne Bravo for consecutive fours early into his innings. Rashid also smashed his Afghan teammate Noor Ahmed, smashing him for a few stunning boundaries.
Rashid’s knock was laced with 4 fours and as many sixes at a strike rate of 183.33. Rashid treated the fans with a variety of shots. However, the shots that stole all the attention were his outrageous aerial guide over the backward point and a helicopter shot that left everyone mesmerized. These two shots reminded the fans of AB de Villiers and MS Dhoni.
Rashid Khan was eventually dismissed in the penultimate over by Marcus Stoinis.

However, all his efforts went in vain as TSK chased the 164-run target easily, riding on crucial half-centuries from Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis.
