The Indian Premier League (IPL) has become a platform for players across the world to display new additions to their bowling and batting skills. And now it seems that Steve Smith, the skipper of Rajasthan Royals, is looking to add some inventive shots to his repertoire. Taking a cue from Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni, Steve Smith was seen practising the famous 'Helicopter Shot' during a net session. What is interesting is that Smith managed to play the shot exactly like Dhoni.

The Helicopter shot, made famous by Dhoni, was used by him to dispatch even well-executed yorkers for sixes. Rajasthan Royals defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 16 runs in their first match of the tournament. Sanju Samson was awarded Man of the Match for his knock of 74 runs from 32 balls which helped Rajasthan Royals reach 216/7 in the allotted twenty overs. During the course of his innings, Samson smashed nine sixes and one four.
