In the recent IPL 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Gujarat Titans (GT), RCB’s Mohammed Siraj showcased a bit of playful camaraderie by mimicking Suryakumar Yadav’s signature celebration after dismissing GT’s opener, Wriddhiman Saha, early in the game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Saha, who has been struggling for form in this IPL season, fell victim to Siraj’s delivery outside off-stump, attempting a cut shot that resulted in a simple catch for wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. Delighted with the breakthrough, Siraj couldn’t resist emulating Yadav’s celebratory gesture, adding a touch of humour to the intense competition.
