You could have seen different celebrations on the cricket field but Tabraiz Shamsi certainly did the best. He took it to another level on Wednesday with his celebration after picking up a wicket in a Mzansi Super League 2019 match.  After dismissing Wihab Lubbe during the game between Paarl Rocks and Durban Heat, Shamsi celebrated by pulling out a magic trick which left everyone surprised.

Shamsi had performed those tricks earlier also and after that, he revealed how much he loves magic.

“I have always been fascinated by magic and different tricks,” Shamsi had said. “From the age of about 15 or 16, I wanted to become a magician as it was a hobby of mine. It wasn’t just a phase, but something that really interested me as a small child. I still love it, but cricket obviously took over after that. People come out to watch us play and sometimes we (the players) become too serious,” he added.

“We are going to make mistakes out on the field, because everybody makes mistakes. The celebrations and tricks do not distract me from doing my job. I am not the first bowler to get hit out of the park and it is not my magic tricks that make me get hit. Entertaining on the field is just my way of taking pressure off myself and being able to enjoy things. I feel like when I am myself, I am able to play my best cricket,” he concluded.
