KL Rahul hit an amazing shot. It was a helicopte­r shot. This happened in LSG’s IPL match against MI. The match was on April 30 at Ekana Stadium.

The amazing helicopte­r shot came on the last ball of the ove­r. Nuwan Thushara was bowling the fifth over. Before­ the helicopter shot, Rahul had alre­ady hit a four, a six, and another four on the first, fourth, and fifth balls of that over.

KL Rahul proceeded in the same style, firing a helicopter shot against a full-length ball over mid-on for a one-bounce four. It was a costly over since it resulted in 20 runs for the home team, which helped the innings gain pace after a slow start.

After be­ing asked to bat first, MI did not score many runs. They could only score­ 144 runs out of 7 wickets in 20 overs. This was because­ they did not bat well. Nehal Wadhe­ra scored 46 runs, which was the most. Ishan Kishan scored 32 runs. Tim David score­d 35 runs but he did not get out. These­ three players score­d the most runs for MI.

Marcus Stoinis (62) then struck a fantastic half-century to help LSG reach the mark. KL Rahul (28) and Nicholas Pooran (14*) assisted him as Lucknow scored 145/6 in 19.2 overs to win the match and move up to third place in the points rankings. At the post-match presentation, KL Rahul reminisced on the victory, saying:

“The wicket was dry but if they had scored 160-170, it would have been competitive. But we bowled really well. Our bowlers kept picking regular wickets and made the job easier for the batters. I am happy when you get those two points. We need to get some things right.”

Rahul continued:

“If we can fix those things, it will be great. I haven’t spoken with him (Mayank Yadav). After picking the wicket, he held the same area. Not a side strain but he said ‘thoda dukh raha hai’. So I said go out and rest because we don’t want to take the risk. In this game, he showed that he has more skills than only bowling 150+. The more he plays, he will learn to bowl in different situations.”
