Shaheen Shah Afridi vs Shahid Afridi OR Nitish Rana vs Virat Kohli

[Hermoine Green]

In PSL 2018 We all saw when Shaheen Shah Afridi took wicket of Shahid Afridi, normally SSA celebrates his every wicket, but he didn't celebrate Shahid Afridi's wicket in order to show him respect.

In IPL 2018, Nitish Rana took wicket of Virat Kohli and he celebrated his victory with some abuses towards Virat Kohli.

Personally i believe youngsters should show some respect towards their senior in these leagues, its OK to celebrate wicket but abusing??

Which moment would you prefer to see in cricket, especially in these leagues?

I'm sure Kohli didn't mind Rana's celebration. Kohli even gifted him a bat. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhY7BCFAf8e/

The way he was looking at it after getting out, he probably would have thrown it away anyway.

Each to their own to be honest

He runs a factory, I guess.

I like it when someone gives Kohli a mouthful and I also love the way Kohli deals with it. Great gesture from him to gift Rana his bat.

It's just a different culture. Virat himself is the king of this sort of celebration, so it's not surprising he doesn't mind taking it as well. Why would he have anything against Nitish? They have very similar background, from same place, similar attitude.

Looks like the default response....

Opponent dismisses you...give him a bat.

Girl proposes to you....give her your bat.

Opponent dismisses and abuses you...still give him a bat.

Maybe there's some deeper meaning here...

Yes. That’s weird. His normal behavior of Cursing the opponent players when they get out and keep gifting the opponent players the bat, praising them off the field is more like fooling people who are watching his antics.

We call this kinda folks Annian in Tamil.

People look WAYYYYYY too much into celebrations, it's a spontaneous show of emotion that lasts a couple of seconds, drawing anything from that is ridiculous. Show respect to Afridi? good for you. Get pumped after dismissing an ATG in Kohli? all the power to you.

Totally different scenarios.

Shaheen dismissing Afridi is no big deal. Shaheen is a rising star and Afridi is done. Also Shaheen saw how Afridi sent off another youngster a few games earlier and didn't want to attract his wrath

Rana is a part timer and Kohli is the best bat around. Considering he dismissed both AB and Kohli in two balls, he was emotional as it's the stuff of dreams and can happen only once in his lifetime. Kohli understood this and decided to give him a souvenir to mark the rarest of accomplishments.

Lol it's just been Amir, Wyatt and Rana.

So not many. He praises Markram because he rates him highly as a batsman.

 

[English August]

Definitely prefer the Rana approach. Shows that he cares; and dismissing the best batsman in the world is way to get noticed.
