2. Helicopter Shot

Every cricketer has a signature shot, one they play with confidence, which often becomes their trademark. But, for the wicketkeeper-batter, that iconic shot is the Helicopter Shot. When facing a fuller or yorker-length delivery, Dhoni brings his bat down with his power and whips it in a circular motion, like the blades of a helicopter, sending the ball flying over the boundary.

This unconventional shot gained worldwide recognition and has since become a symbol. Many aspiring cricketers now look up to him and attempt to replicate the hit, but Dhoni will always remain the OG inventor of the powerful hit.
