AUS vs WI: Kevin Sinclair Leaves Spectators In Awe With Cartwheel Celebration After Maiden Test Wicket- WATCH

AUS vs WI: Kevin Sinclair produced a cartwheel celebration after his maiden Test wicket in the ongoing second Test match between Australia and West Indies at the Gabba, Brisbane.

Video Of Kevin Sinclair's 'Cartwheel' celebration went viral on social media.

In a fascinating day of Test match cricket at the Gabba in Brisbane where fast bowlers produced most of the wickets, it was a spinner's celebration that made headlines, stunning the commentators and fans alike. During the Australian first innings in their second Test match of the two-match series against West Indies, Kevin Sinclair playing his first Test match produced a wicket against the run of play to get rid the opposition's top-scorer in the innings.

The incident happened in the fourth ball of the 48th over. While Khawaja and Pat Cummins were in the middle of a solid eighth-wicket partnership which was worth 81 already, Sinclair tempted the left-handed Khawaja with a flighted ball to go for the drive. Even a well-set Khawaja was lured into that shot but the ball turned enough to produce the edge which was taken by Alick Athanaze in the slip cordon. With this Khawaja's innings came to an end on 75 off 131 balls and Australia lose their eighth wicket. However, it was the jaw-dropping cartwheel celebration from Sinclair that turned head, the video of which has gone viral.

Take a look at it here:
