Rashid Khan is one of those cricketers who never fails to entertain the fans with his incredible talent, no matter if he is batting, bowling or fielding. Although his primary skill and weapon is his leg-spin and googlies, the 23-year-old is also a very lethal batsman and a gun fielder.
The Afghan cricketer certainly enjoys his batting and has often been seen playing some astonishing shots on the field. He is one of the very few players currently who can hit MS Dhoni's special helicopter shot with some ease. His wrist work is indeed second to none in world cricket!
Well, the youngster from Afghanistan recently gave another demonstration of what he is capable of. In a recently shared video of him batting in nets, Rashid Khan can be seen playing a never-seen-before shot. The right-handed batsman, with no movement at all, flicks the shot towards the leg side by just changing the angle of the bat.

A shot like has never been during a competitive match and as Khan asked fans to come up with suggestions for the name of the shot, it was always going to be a challenging task. However, the cricket lovers came up with some hilarious ideas.
While some opined that it should be named as 'Karamati Shot' in honour of Rashid Karamati Khan, there were names like, Jhaadu Shot, Pushpa Shot, Achanak Shot etc.
