Tim David grabbed eyeballs on Thursday with his celebration during the IND vs AUS 4th T20I. The Australian hard-hitter completed a regulation catch on the boundary to dismiss India captain Suryakumar Yadav at Carrera Oval. David followed it up with a wild celebration.

The incident happened in the 16th over of the India vs Australia 4th T20I. With just 4 overs left, the India captain tried clearing the fence to push India's score. Yadav hit Nathan Ellis towards the leg side only to find Tim David on the fence.

Tim David made no mistake as India's captain depart for a quick fire 20. However, what caught the eye was David's celebration. The Australian batter gestured licking the ball, like one does with an ice cream. The reason behind the celebration remains a mystery and created a certain intrigue on social media.

India collapse in 4th t20I

India stuttered in the crucial 4th t20i in Gold Coast. Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill put on a 50-run partnership for the opening wicket. However, India's middle order failed to amp up the scoring after a slow scoring phase.

India were 121-2 in 14 overs before all hell broke loose. In the last 6 overs, the visitors just managed 46 runs and lost 6 wickets in a massive collapse. India eventually only managed to set a 168-run target for Australia.

It was only a late cameo from Axar Patel that got India past the 150-run mark. The left-hander chipped in with a 11-ball 21 to give the visitors a fighting total. Nathan Ellis was the star for the hosts, with figures of 3/21 in his 4 overs. Adam Zampa also struck thrice, but was expensive with figures of 3/45.
