BOOM! Hassan Ali’s Celebration Is The Talk Of The Town On Twitter After Crucial 10 Wickets In Pak Victory
Pakistan fast bowler Hassan Ali announced himself on the international scene as he picked up 10 key wickets to show South Africa the door in the second Test. His celebration after picking up a wicket is being loved by fans. Watch the video here.
South Africa lost the Test series to Pakistan by 2-0 on Monday. Hassan Ali became only the second bowler to pick up 10 wickets at Rawalpindi. He is a special kind of bowler and is receiving praise from all around the globe. He does not have express pace, nor is he a tremendous swinger of the ball, but what differentiated him with other bowlers is his consistency of bowling in difficult areas and making the ball do things. But more than his bowling, Twitter fans were in awe looking at his celebration. Somewhat Brett Lee and Cotterell like, but not entirely like them. Hassan Ali has his own way of celebrating.
Hasan Ali said reacting to questions on his celebration style, he said: "My generator celebration will stay the same but the new baby celebration was actually a dedication to my first child (who'll be in this world soon). I consider my performance has a major luck from my first child. Also I dedicate new celebration to my wife."
First, take a look at the 10 wickets he took against South Africa:
He kept bowling in the right areas and things and things started happening for the Pakistan team. Ali was coming on the back of an injury. He said: "The special thing [about his haul of 10/114] was that I was injured and the other thing was the hard work that I put in. I was making a comeback and making a comeback doesn't mean just coming into the side, playing the match and going back. My aim was to perform for my country," in an online press conference after the match.
Let’s take a look at how the Twitter reacted to this new celebration of Hassan Ali:
