In a thrilling match on April 10, 2026, Mukul Choudhary showcased his talent by executing the famed 'helicopter shot' during a crucial over against the Kolkata Knight Riders, reminiscent of MS Dhoni's glory days. Choudhary's performance included an unbeaten 54 runs off 27 balls, helping the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secure a last-ball win, chasing down a target of 182 runs. Commentator Faf du Plessis playfully remarked, 'MS Dhoni, eat your heart out! The helicopter shot is back,' acknowledging the legacy of the former Indian captain. Choudhary expressed admiration for Dhoni, stating that he aspires to emulate him as a finisher in matches. The young cricketer, who hails from a modest background, revealed that his father had always dreamed of having a son who could play cricket professionally.
