Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on Thursday uploaded a video of a little boy playing some fantastic cricket shots on his official Instagram handle. The video shows the boy hitting the ball in all directions and playing various kinds of shots including the cover drive. At one point in the video, the boy perfectly imitates former India captain MS Dhoni's signature helicopter shot. Amitabh Bachchan shared the video assuming the kid is India, however, it later turned out that the boy is from Pakistan.   

"…. the future of Indian Cricket is in very safe hands," Amitabh Bachchan wrote in the caption of the post.
