IPL 2020, DC vs RR: RR's English Seamer Does A Few Bihu Steps After Castling DC Opener Shaw For A Duck

Archer who was over the moon with his early breakthrough celebrated his wicket by performing the traditional Assamese Bihu dance with teammate Riyan Parag. which has caught on nicely with the Rajasthan Royals squad in IPL 2020.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) succumbed under pressure yet again and could not hold onto their nerves to lose an IPL 2020 encounter from a winning position to Delhi Capitals (DC) by 13 runs at Dubai on Wednesday (October 14). While the 'Halla Bol' fans would be disappointed by the performance of Smith and the 'Pink Brigade', they had a bit to cheer about in the opening stages of the match with English seamer Jofra Archer cartwheeling the stumps of the DC opener Prithvi Shaw in the very first delivery of the match. Shaw completely missed the line of a pacy and well directed Archer delivery to only drag the ball onto the middle stumps and fall for a duck. Archer who was over the moon with his early breakthrough celebrated his wicket by performing the traditional Assamese Bihu dance with teammate Riyan Parag. which has caught on nicely with the Rajasthan Royals squad. “Is the Bihu dance catching up in the @rajasthanroyalssquad?,” a post on IPL twitter said. Riyan Parag who hails from Assam and plays his domestic cricket for the Northeast state can be credited for making the traditional Assamese folk dance popular among his teammates after he celebrated RR's stunning win over SRH by doing a few steps of the Bihu, much to the amusement and delight of their fans all around the world. Tottering at 78/5 during their 159-run chase against Sunrisers Hyderabad, youngster Parag and all-rounder Rahul Tewatia pulled off a sensational win by scoring 81 runs in just 48 balls to take the Royals across the finishing line.
