In a thrilling encounter between Islamabad United and Multan Sultans in the PSL 2024, Shadab Khan's valiant effort was marred by Abbas Afridi's striking performance. 

Despite Islamabad United's eventual victory by three wickets, the highlight of the match was Shadab Khan's attempt to recreate MS Dhoni's iconic helicopter shot, which unfortunately ended in his dismissal.

Watch the video here:


With a stellar knock of 54 runs off just 31 balls, Shadab Khan's innings was filled with flair and determination. However, his ambitions to emulate the legendary Dhoni fell short when he holed out in the deep off Abbas Afridi's delivery. 

The ball pitched full-length on the middle and leg stump line, tempting Shadab to clear his front leg and launch it over long-off. But he failed to connect properly, resulting in a catch by Willey at the edge of the boundary rope.

Despite the disappointment of missing out on his helicopter moment, Shadab Khan's innings proved crucial in steering Islamabad United towards victory. His fearless approach and aggressive batting set the tone for his team's chase.
