Watch: Mohammad Amir brings out iconic 'Pushpa' celebration after taking wicket for Desert Vipers in ILT20

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir, on Wednesday (January 22), once again brought out the Pushpa celebration after taking a wicket on the cricket field. The left-arm pacer brought out the celebration during the match between Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriorz in the ongoing International League T20.

Desert Vipers captain Lockie Ferguson won the toss and opted to bowl first. He handed the new ball to Mohammad Amir and the pacer hit the ground running. He gave his team a flying start by taking not only but two wickets in the very first over.

After being hit for a four by Johnson Charles on the third ball, the former Pakistan pacer bounced back in style by dismissing the West Indies opener on the very next ball. Charles went for a big shot and ended up hitting the delivery straight to the fielder at the deep square leg. While he got the height on the shot, he could not get the distance.

Dan Lawrence made no mistake in taking the catch. And as soon as he completed the catch, Mohammad Amir brought out the iconic 'Pushpa' celebration, inspired by the Allu Arjun-starrer movie 'Pushpa'.

Amir was not done yet. On the last ball of the same over, he dismissed Avishka Fernando for a duck to put his team in the driver's seat. Later in the third over, Amir picked up another wicket and celebrated the dismissal with the Pushpa celebration once again. He dismissed Rohan Mustafa for 2 runs on the final ball of the third over.

This is not the first time that Mohammad Amir has celebrated a wicket in a game by doing the Pushpa celebration. He had done the same in 2022 as well when he picked up a wicket for Gloucestershire against Somerset in the T20 Blast.
