On Tuesday, Rising Pune Supergiants' fast bowler Ashoke Dinda was in prime form in Hyderabad. He took 2/23 in his four overs against the Sunrisers Hyderabad to help his team win their first game in four matches. And to celebrate his wickets, he pulled off the kind of celebration which looked vaguely familiar to anyone who's been watching Real Madrid of late.
At the post-match ceremony, Dinda banished any doubts and mentioned where that celebration came from. And, of course, as many suspected, Dinda was inspired by a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Of course, many have tried to imitate Ronaldo's signature celebration (including his former manager Carlo Ancelotti), but no one can really come close to him, right?
