Jadeja's celebration went viral on the internet.
India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja celebrated the wicket of West Indies batter Amir Jangoo in the second ODI in Guwahati by breaking into an entertaining dance step inspired by Emraan Hashmi's iconic hook step from the song "Afsana Banaya Aapne".
During the match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday (September 30), Jangoo was dismissed for a brilliant 114 off 77 balls after cutting a short delivery straight to Ruturaj Gaikwad at backward point.
The breakthrough ended Jadeja's frustrating 46-over wicketless streak in ODI cricket, prompting the veteran campaigner to bring out the viral Bollywood-inspired celebration.
Jadeja folded both his hands on his hands and signalled the batter to walk away. The unique celebration immediately grabbed attention online and became a massive talking point across social media platforms.
Here’s the video:
Coming to the match, West Indies racked up a mammoth 405/7 on the board. Apart from Jangoo, John Campbell (101 off 68) and Shai Hope (104 off 94) slammed centuries for the visitors.
For India, Gurnoor Brar, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja claimed two wickets each. Kuldeep completed 200 career ODI wickets during his spell of 2-65 in 10 overs.
