Before MS Dhoni, Mohammad Azharuddin had played the helicopter shot; an old video surfaces on Twitter

An old video of Azharuddin’s batting has surfaced on Twitter which shows the batsman playing a shot that has a lot of resemblance with how Dhoni plays his helicopter shot. The shot was played by Azhar during a 1996 Test match against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. He played a gem of a knock of 109 runs from 77 balls, with 18 fours and a six.
