Cricket Viral Video: Rehan Ahmed has left the cricketing world in awe with his extraordinary helicopter pull shot through mid-on during a County Championship match in 2023. The batsman’s half-century was marked by this phenomenal shot that showcased his exceptional skill and technique.
Batter hits uncanny shot
The youngest Test player in England’s history concluded the initial day of the match with an unbeaten score of 38 runs. This morning, he swiftly approached his half-century. In the fourth over, when he was on 48 runs, he prepared to pull a delivery from Michael Nesser towards the leg side. However, the short-pitched ball unexpectedly gained altitude as it approached the batsman, causing him to alter his shot to avoid getting hit near his head. Eventually, he managed to play the ball towards mid-on, finishing the shot by twirling his bat over his head.
The helicopter shot was made famous by former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who used it to great effect in limited-overs cricket. However, Ahmed’s rendition of the shot took it to a whole new level. The right-handed batter used a horizontal bat to play a short delivery from the bowler, but instead of hitting it straight, he suddenly swivelled his wrists, sending the ball soaring in the direction of the boundary line.

During the concluding day of the previous season, he achieved his first-ever century in the Championship for Leicestershire, scoring an impressive 122 runs off just 113 deliveries against Derbyshire. In today’s match, batting at the seventh position, he managed to reach a score of 90 runs from 129 balls before being dismissed lbw by Timm van der Gugten. At the time of his dismissal, Leicestershire’s first innings total stood at 345-6, with Rehan being the highest run-scorer for the team thus far.
