Many came up with various kind of answers to the post but the top opinion of all came from a Tennis legend. Sania Mirza, a former world No. 1 in the doubles discipline, compared Dhoni’s helicopter shot with Rafael Nadal’s popular forehand shot.

Mirza wrote “Rafa’s forehand 😉”

The Rafael Nadal forehand is considered as one of the fiercest forehands in modern tennis and this contributes to his wins and many titles. He hits a strong and powerful topspin forehand and as the result, a very sharp brushing effect is created as the back of the ball comes in contact with the racket head.

Watch the video of famous Rafael Nadal’s forehand :

This answer from Sania excited many of followers who got instigated who post many of their opinion of Dhoni’s helicopter shot being comapred to Rafael Nadal’s forehand. Check out some of them here :

According to a recent report of Hindu, Six-time Grand Slam champion Sania Mirza is embarking on yet another comeback. Known to fight against all odds, on and off the court, the 32-year-old Sania has resumed training in earnest after the birth of her son.

As far as Cricket world cup0 is concerned, Indian Cricket Team will depend heavily on the batting prowess of the top order batsmen, all-round capabilities of Hardik and Vijay Shankar and MSD’s brilliant cricketing brain.
