Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s exuberance after leading his team to a thrilling T20 World Cup victory in Barbados knew no bounds. In a display of pure elation, Sharma was seen bending down and ingesting a handful of soil from the Kensington Oval pitch.
The dramatic gesture quickly went viral on social media, with photos and videos of Sharma’s unique celebration flooding platforms. Fans expressed their amusement and appreciation for the captain’s raw emotions.
This wasn’t the first time a sportsperson expressed their victory in such an unconventional way. Tennis star Novak Djokovic famously mimicked eating grass after winning Wimbledon in 2015.
Whether it’s a tribute to the pitch that played a crucial role in India’s win or a spontaneous outburst of pure joy, Rohit Sharma’s celebration has certainly become a talking point.
