Watch: Kevin Sinclair performs a "somersault" after dismissing Danushka Gunathilaka

 

Nowadays, not only the batsmen but the bowlers have also been loved by the for their unique celebrations on the field after taking a wicket. Like Imran Tahir's "Marathon Run" after he picks up a wicket and the fans of Chennai Super Kings call him "Parasakthi Express" as the other players wait for him till he completes his celebration.

Sheldon Cottrell is the other player who has attracted the fans by his "salute" after the wicket. As of now, we have a new admission in the exclusive list named Kevin Sinclair who has grabbed the attention during his debut game in the 1st T20I against Sri Lanka.

The latter is well known for his "somersaults" during the Caribbean Premier League which are rather dangerous when they come on a note. He did the same in his debut match against the visitors when he removed Danushka Gunathilaka for just 4 runs.

The official Twitter handle of West Indies Cricket has shared the video after the completion of the match captioning “1st International Wicket, 1st Somersault with the #MenInMaroon, Great start to an international career. #SLvWI #MenInMaroon.”


In addition to that, there was another surprise shown by the Windies skipper Kieron Pollard who has stunned everyone again with his enormous batting skills.

During the match, Pollard went on to hit 6 sixes in an over of Akila Dananjaya and become the third player after Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj Singh to achieve this feat in the international arena. With his monstrous hitting, West Indies won the match by 4 wickets and more than six overs in hand.

Later in the post-match conference, Pollard said “A couple of things went through my mind before the sixth ball – before the last ball, I thought should I go for the six or take the 30 runs in the over? He went around the wicket and bowled it onto my pads; I told myself, ‘Wait, Polly, take a chance’. That’s how I have played my cricket all along, especially against the spinners. Today was my day; unfortunate for him, but this was a good win for our team.” Let's see how Kieron Pollard and his men going to perform in the upcoming match against the Sri Lankan Lions.
