Yuzvendra Chahal has taken social media by storm as he recreated Medhavi Bidhuri’s viral ‘6-7’ celebration during Northamptonshire’s County Championship clash. The Indian leg-spinner produced the celebration after dismissing Lancashire batter Joe Moores at Old Trafford in Manchester.
Chahal later shared a video of his celebration, clubbing it with Bidhuri's own during the Delhi Premier League. The 20-year-old has gone viral following her '6-7' celebration with Chahal now joining the trend.
'Outspinning the algorithm," Chahal wrote as he shared the video on Instagram.
Chahal came around the wicket against Moores and produced a delivery that beat the batter before crashing into the stumps. The dismissal gave the veteran spinner a chance to celebrate in his trademark animated style. Instead, Chahal appeared to mimic the ‘6-7’ gesture, giving the viral celebration another moment in the spotlight.
Bidhuri’s unique ‘6-7’ celebration caught the attention of fans online and soon spread across social media platforms. Chahal’s recreation has now added a new chapter to the celebration’s growing popularity.
The moment also highlighted Chahal’s ability to bring his personality and sense of fun to the cricket field. The 35-year-old has often been known for his lively celebrations and playful interactions with teammates and opponents.
Chahal has fallen out of favour in the Indian team but continues to remain active in the cricketing circuit. He is part of the Punjab Kings in the IPL while also regularly plays domestic and county cricket.
