In the IPL 2026 match being played between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals, Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit two brilliant sixes, giving a glimpse of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s famous helicopter shot. During this, he targeted bowlers like Arshdeep Singh and Lockie Ferguson.

In the 40th match of IPL 2026 being played on Tuesday (April 28) at New Chandigarh Stadium, 15-year-old young opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi once again surprised everyone with his batting. This time he reminded everyone of Mahendra Singh Dhoni with his shot.

Lockie Ferguson was bowling in the second over of the innings. On the fourth ball of the over, Ferguson bowled a full length delivery, on which Suryavanshi played a helicopter shot using tremendous wrists. The ball went straight over mid-wicket for a six. This shot was absolutely in Dhoni style, which made the fans dance.

After this, Suryavanshi repeated the same feat against Arshdeep Singh in the fourth over. On the very first ball of the over, he played another helicopter shot and sent the ball over mid-wicket for a six.

However, on the next ball of the same over, Arshdeep Singh made a comeback and dismissed Suryavanshi. Suryavanshi played a stormy inning of 43 runs in 16 balls, which included 3 fours and 5 sixes. His aggressive batting gave a fast start to Rajasthan in the powerplay.

Suryavanshi is looking in great form this season. He has won the Orange Cap for the second time this season by scoring 400 runs in 9 innings and his strike rate is also more than 238. His batting continues to be a headache for the opposition bowlers.

Talking about the match, Punjab Kings batted first and scored a big score of 222 runs, in which Prabhsimran Singh (59), Priyansh Arya (29) and Cooper Connolly (30) made important contributions. In the end, Marcus Stoinis put the team in a strong position by scoring unbeaten 62 runs in 22 balls.
