Cricket and celebrations go hand in hand. Whenever a batsman scores a century, a bowler picks a wicket or a catch has been taken by any fielder, they always celebrate. However, there are few trademarks of these celebrations, like-the batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar used to remove his helmet and looked up in the sky after scoring a hundred, Imran Tahir celebrates by running etc. India opener Shikhar Dhawan also maintains a typical celebration form and he always does it after taking a catch. His celebration form is known is ‘Thigh-Five’ as he slaps his right thigh with his hand, taking inspiration from Kabaddi.
