 "My celebration is simple. I'm a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo so I try to follow him. When i castle a batter, I celebrate the wicket in that fashion, but if he is caught at fine leg or similar fielding position I don't do it," Siraj responds to Shami's answer.

However, it is Shami's response that has grabbed more eyeballs as he suggested that fast bowlers should be very careful with that kind of jump as it can cause an injury.

"Ek advice hain, acha baat hain aap kisi k fan hain. As a fast bowler aapko yeh jumpo se thoda sa duur rehna chahiye," Shami said.
