[Watch] Mohammed Siraj wows fans with his helicopter shot on the final ball of the CSK vs RCB clash
Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) Mohammed Siraj entertained fans by smashing two stunning boundaries in the final over against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Tuesday.
The tailender dazzled the viewers with his strokeplay and delighted many by playing a helicopter shot. Dwayne Bravo ended the innings by bowling a full-length delivery to Siraj. The right-hander played his own version of the helicopter shot and the ball raced away to the boundary ropes.
Interestingly, MS Dhoni, who is known to be the inventor of the famous shot, was standing right behind the stumps.
