India’s former batsman Aakash Chopra post on Twitter on Thursday went viral. He shared a video of a young Indian girl hitting a series of flawless helicopter shots.
He wrote, “Thursday Thunderbolt…our very own Pari Sharma. Isn’t she super talented?” Chopra’s fans, in no time, compared the little girl with Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who invented the innovative helicopter shot and ruled the world of cricket.

Former India batsman Sanjay Manjrekar too took note of young Pari’s cricketing skills.
“I see now helicopter shot being actually practiced. Along with collecting the ball very close to the stumps as keeper, this is another cricketing technique Dhoni has popularised as great options for budding cricketers,” wrote Manjrekar.
Pari’s short video clip won the hearts of the people on twitter.
One user tweeted, “Sir, she will definitely become the MS Dhoni of women’s cricket”.
In April too Pari’s video had gone viral when former England captain Michael Vaughan and West Indies batsman Shai Hope had shared her video.
