[Justcrazy]

Ambrose celebration was slow but made a point. A gentleman celebration.

 

[Suleiman]

David Warner's upon a hundred. Runs across the pitch and then does a high jump punching the air with his helmet.

More recently, Misbah and pushups.

 

[Syed2015]

Umar - kissing his helmet after scoring a 50

 

[Syed2015]

Afghan players - cringeworthy emulation of the champion dance

 

[Syed2015]

Hafeez - holding the bat upside down, with the spine side of the bat facing towards the dressing room

[Syed1]

Funny no one mentioned Steyn.

 

[Ami]

Even Shoaib Akhtar's 'plane' was a poor imitation of a Brazilian forward Carreca's celebration...he played a few world cups in the 90s.

 

[Markhor]

Brett Lee's chainsaw and Shoaib Akhtar's plane are the two celebrations I remember the most.

Andy Bichel did a football-style kick during the 2003 WC a couple of times.

Jadeja's at Lord's was hilarious.

 

[badsha001]

Flintoff celebration, later copied by afridi...

 

[Rayyman]

Funny no one mentioned Steyn.

OP did.

 

[BabarAkmal_Fan]

Umar akmal dab

 

[Syed1]

OP did.

Lol missed it in the list. Completely lost the plot

 

[Rayyman]

Ashwin- 2 handed high five.

 

[shaz619]

Andy Bichel did a football-style kick during the 2003 WC a couple of times.

Jadeja's at Lord's was hilarious.

Shoaib Akhtar's plane and Misbah's salute and press ups at Lords (surprised no one has mentioned this yet) are the best celebrations for me.

 

[shaz619]

This was an iconic celebration from Akhtar besides the Plane:

Flintoff sought of imitated it in 2009:

 

[dani2k]

What is the weird celebration that Akmal is upto after completing a catch nowadays? Any context to that pls?

 

[asadee]

Loved Hasan Ali's celebration the other day when he bowled Fletcher

 

[Crafty_Indian]

Corey Collymore's trident style

 

[TalhaSyed]

What is the weird celebration that Akmal is upto after completing a catch nowadays? Any context to that pls?

It is his version of the dab dance:

The Dab is a dance in which the dancer simultaneously drops the head while raising an arm and the elbow in a gesture that has been noted to resemble “proper sneezing etiquette [and] relates to being blazed out of one's mind".

Brathwaite did it when he got Babar's wicket, so Umar decided to give it a shot too #FunCricket #JustLikeWWE

 

[dani2k]

^^ Ah Ok...Thanks mate!

 

[Tusker]

Sir Jadeja - Sword dance

By far the coolest one ... Sir rocks

 

[The Last Of The Stars]

He ruined it completely, lol.

Those hands, oh those hands! Batting, bowling, fielding and now twirling!

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar Ali press ups

 

[leatherface58]

Sreesanth - getting slapped.

 

[Square Drive]

Hafeez - holding the bat upside down, with the spine side of the bat facing towards the dressing room

Yes, that!

That's how I celebrate too.

 

[hafizexpress]

Super Saiyan Junaid!

Umar Gul showing out his closed hand and arm bent.

Amir's stretched out hands with his index finger out.

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[Watsupdoc]

The bat drop celebration is just epic!

 

[moghul]

Do not like sajda celebration, doesnt make sense to me. Its nothing to do with religion, its only Pakistani thing to bring religion in everything. Never saw more religious player like Moeen Ali or Amla or any non-Pakistani doing it.

 

[Aman]

Damn, I wish he had done it after he hit Steyn for six

Would have taken an epic moment to GOAT tier.

 

[Adil_94]

[MENTION=141839]moghul[/MENTION] yeah it was started off by Moyo after his conversion to Islam then rest of the players started to do it as a copycat thing and just to show outward religiosity and show off. Likes of Amir did Sajda in Lords Test in 2010 after getting a 5fer and we all saw what he did. Its the same as most Pakistan players saying thanks to Allah after every game after Inzi started this trend. Never see the likes of Moeen and Amla do that.

 

[Abdullah719]

So you have never seen:

a). Football players crossing their heart and pointing to the sky after scoring a goal

b). Football players wearing shirts, etc. mentioning Jesus

c). NFL players celebrating a touchdown by kneeling in prayer

Nothing beats Akhtar's eagle after uprooting an Indian off-stump. Put the cat amongst the pigeons of a billion people.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Nothing beats Akhtar's eagle after uprooting an Indian off-stump. Put the cat amongst the pigeons of a billion people.

Plus that pin drop silence

Truly one of the most epic celebrations ever !!

 

[Sarfarazian92]

That Lord's victory celebration was epic.

Something I will never forget.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Not gonna lie I did like Zaheer Khan shouting "c'mon!!" when he got a wicket in the 2011 WC.

Imran Khan - casual jog to the slip fielders and high fives.

Lol, what a legend. Wickets were simply expected. A bit like Zidane and his goal-celebrations, I hear.

The Sajdah is a celebration exclusive to Pakistanis. Never seen Amla, Moeen, Tahir, Khawaja, Rashid or anyone outside of Pakistan doing it.

[Bilal7]

Lol, Amir! )

Raees was asking for it. This is brilliant. Just good natured teasing and harmless trolling. Need more of this from the boys at the international level.

 

[Bilal7]

Sikandar Raza, UAE and Afghan players.

Aren't they all Pakistani expatriates? Haven't seen the Afghans do it but you may be right.

 

[Square Drive]

Killed me.

Tahir did it in the world cup against West Indies when he got 5 wickets (although he is Pakistani to be fair) ... also lots of footballers also use the same celebration.

Smoke bomb - Hassan Ali

 

[Rayyman]

Smoke bomb - Hassan Ali

I call it: "Knockout Explosion."

 

[msb314]

I call it: "Knockout Explosion."

haha according to Cricinfo - the celebration is supposed to mimic Hassan dropping a smoke bomb but remaining in the exact same spot e.g. like a magician.

 

[TahirFan]

Gary Kirsten waved to the crowd in the same manner as Queen Elizabeth

 

[Macho Mann]

the best i liked was brett lee when he punched the ground or something, it was like WWE or something

 

[sl-fan-of-pak]

Sikandar Raza, UAE and Afghan players.

Farweez Mahroof did it after his first 5fer

 

[MoAamer]

Hasan's old kick celebration? He stopped doing it.

Its just a drama, I don;t like this, nothing to with religion.

Okay. You not liking it won't make the players stop prostrating though.
