Rashid Khan recreated ABD's famous shot [X]

Afghanistan's legendary cricketer Rashid Khan showcased his all-round prowess for the umpteenth time in MI New York's eliminator encounter against Texas Super Kings (TSK) in the ongoing Major League Cricket. 

On Thursday, Faf du Plessis-led TSK swatted aside MI New York by nine wickets to book a berth in qualifier 2. 

However, amid MI's disappointing performance, the in-form Rashid Khan stood out, hammering a belligerent 55-run knock to bail his side out of trouble.

After being put into bat first, MI New York had a shaky start, losing key wickets of Dewald Brevis, Nicholas Pooran and Shayan Jahangir inside 11 overs. 

However, MI's decision to promote Rashid Khan up the order proved to be a masterstroke, as he struck 55 runs to power them to a respectable total. 

He took a particular liking for his national teammate Noor Ahmad, smashing him disdainfully all around the park. 

He took only 30 balls to compose his blistering knock, studded with four boundaries and as many sixes. 

Although he played several delightful shots, his outrageous aerial guide over the backward point and a helicopter shot mesmerised everyone, reminding the fans of AB de Villiers and MS Dhoni. 

Besides putting up a memorable batting show, Rashid also had a good day with the ball, conceding 22 runs off his four overs. 

However, his valiant allround effort went in vain, with TSK chasing the 164-run target easily, riding on clinical fifties from Devon Conway and Faf du Plessis.
