AUS vs PAK: Watch- Mitchell Marsh Imitates Cristiano Ronaldo's Celebration During The Boxing Day Test At MCG

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh seemed to be having fun on the Ground as the two teams collided on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test. Australia and Pakistan are currently playing the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Australia is in a strong position in the match.

After the end of the Second Day’s play, Pakistan is struggling on 194/6 while trailing Australia’s first innings score of 319. Australia took five of the six wickets in quick successions leading to a middle-order collapse of Pakistan. Pakistan lost Imam-ul-Haq early but then Abdullah Shafique and skipper Shan Masood resurrected the Pakistan innings as they contributed 90 runs for the second wicket. However, after Shafique’s dismissal, Pakistan’s batting started to collapse as Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, and Agha Salman got out cheaply.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers in the world and his famous ‘Siuu!!’ celebration is imitated by athletes worldwide. During the second day’s play at the MCG, there was an incident where Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebration came onto the screen for a moment.

Australia’s pace-bowling all-rounder Mitchell Marsh was spotted imitating Ronaldo’s ‘Siuu!!’ celebration as the crowd started chanting. Mitchell Marsh was the Player of The Match in the first Test for his half-centuries in both innings and in the first innings of the second Test, he contributed 41 runs with the bat. The video of him replicating Ronaldo’s signature celebration is going viral on the internet.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a global icon and many people follow him. He is Virat Kohli‘s favorite footballer and also is the most-followed personality on Instagram with more than half a billion followers (615 Million). His celebration is copied by a lot of athletes worldwide including some cricketers. His celebration where he jumps while doing a gesture with his hands has a huge fanbase of itself and people love to copy his style.

India’s star pacer Mohammed Siraj and Pakistan’s Imad Wasim are a few cricketers who copy Ronaldo’s celebration after taking a wicket. Now Mitchell Marsh has also added his name to the list of players who have imitated Ronaldo’s celebration. Mitchell Marsh is having a great Test series against Pakistan and he is in good form. He scored 90 and a 63* during the first Test in Perth. In the first innings of the Boxing Day Test, he scored 41 and contributed towards the team’s total of 319.

Australia and Pakistan are playing a three-match Test series which the former is already leading by 1-0. They defeated Pakistan by a huge 360-run margin in the first Test which was played at the Optus stadium in Perth and now holds a strong position in the second Test. Pakistan will have to bounce back on Day 3 or else they could lose the series without even reaching the decider.

Pakistan has never won a Test match in Australia since 1995 when Wasim Akram was the captain of Pakistan and they would be looking to end this 29-year-old jinx by winning at least one Test in Australia. The two teams will move to Sydney for the Third test.
