MS Dhoni Did Not Invent The Helicopter Shot; Virender Sehwag's Huge Claim on ex-CSK Captain Amid IPL 2026

MI vs CSK, IPL 2026: We have all grown to believe that the helicopter shot was invented by MS Dhoni, but that is not the case as former India cricketer Virender Sehwag has broken the myth. As per Sehwag, it was former India captain Mohammed Azharuddin, who invented the shot, which is now associated with Dhoni as his signature shot. Sehwag said that he is not sure why fans take Dhoni's name whenever anybody plays that shot. Sehwag has certainly raised eyebrows with this claim.

Meanwhile, things are not looking good for Dhoni, who has already missed six games this season and his return still remains uncertain. Out with a calf injury, which he sustained during pre-season training - is delaying his return. Initially, it was believed that he would be out for a fortnight which has now got extended and that is of course hurting CSK. 

After the game vs SRH, Michael Hussey has clearly stated that he doesn’t know how long Dhoni will need to recover from his calf injury. “Not really, I’m not sure (how long Dhoni will take to recover). If the physio is sitting here, maybe he could answer that,” Hussey told reporters in Hyderabad.

“But look, he’s progressing nicely with his rehab, and I’m happy with how he’s batting. It’s just about progressing with his running, because if he’s going to bat towards the back end of the innings, he’ll need to be able to run quick singles and twos. He just needs to build confidence in his running and improve his speed. I don’t know when he’ll play, but I’m hoping it’s sooner rather than later, like all the fans,” he added.
