Herschelle Gibbs baffled by Rohit Sharma's century celebration
Rohit Sharma's 101 helped India chase down a record 406 against West Indies, but his unusual century celebration left Herschelle Gibbs completely puzzled.
On a surface where 811 runs were scored, Rohit Sharma's 101 proved to be a vital knock as India chased down a record 406 against West Indies in Guwahati to take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
The former India captain smashed his 35th ODI century and added 255 for the opening wicket alongside Shubman Gill, anchoring the innings comfortably.
However, more than his knock of 101, it was his unusual celebration after completing the hundred that got the cricket world talking.
As Rohit took the single that brought up his milestone, he hopped and jogged his way to the non-striker’s end, surprising fans and pundits alike.
While Rohit chose to keep the reason a secret, former South Africa opener Herschelle Gibbs felt it was a stinker and stated he would message the batter.
“Gonna message Rohit and tell him his 100 celebration was a stinker. What was that!” Gibbs posted on social media.
The two previously shared the Mumbai Indians dressing room in 2012 and maintain a banter-filled bond, with Gibbs often sharing his candid views on Rohit's batting technique.
