The grade six budding star wants to learn the ‘helicopter’ shot and quoted a valid reason for it.
“I have been playing since childhood. I am still learning how to play especially ‘Helicopter Shot.’ After taking the second run, we get tired and do not feel like running for another. My favourite cricketer is Virat Kohli and I want to be like him,” Maqsooma said in the video.
