Top 5 Sixes hit by Indian Cricketers in 2018

#4 Suryakumar Yadav's helicopter shot in Deodhar Trophy

Surya Kumar Yadav produced a moment of magic in 2018 Deodhar trophy

Suryakumar Yadav is currently one of the most talented prospects going around in Indian domestic circuit. The lad was once the vice-captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL in his initial days and is currently a part of Mumbai Indians. He had a good IPL campaign this season as he was promoted as an opener playing for MI and scored 512 runs in four matches.

The 28-year old stole the limelight in the latter half of the year 2018 due to his performance in the Deodhar Trophy. In the final of the tournament, he scored 39 runs off 18 deliveries. The knock consisted of four sixers and one out of the four sixers was a helicopter shot.

His IPL teammate Mayank Markande was bowling against him in the 45th over. The leggie bowled an outside-off delivery and Suryakumar Yadav hit it straight over the bowler's head for a maximum. The way he executed the shot with a flourish by twisting the bat in an overhead circle resembled the unorthodox Helicopter Shot which is played by the star Indian cricketer MS Dhoni.
