Pant playing a ridiculous shot is nothing new, but even by his outrageous rate of playing such shots, this was an upgrade on MS Dhoni’s famous helicopter shot in that it came off a short delivery. With no room to even nudge the ball, Pant went ahead closing his bat face to almost horizontally whip the ball, completing the movement with a full-fledged helicopter swing.
The things this guy can do!
