The first match of the five-match T20 series between the two countries was played in Harare, in which a poor performance was seen from the batsmen of Team India. Right-arm medium-fast bowler Luke Jongwe is seen bowling brilliantly for Zimbabwe. He celebrated a unique celebration after taking the wicket of Dhruv Jurel, for which he is getting praise.You can also see the pictures:
Actually, this incident happened during the Indian batting in the tenth over which was bowled by Luke Jongwe from the host team. On the fifth ball of this over, Jurel wanted to play towards extra cover, but the bat swayed from his hand. The ball went in the air and Wesley Madhevere took a good catch at short extra cover.
As soon as he took his first wicket in the match, Jongwe took off his shoe and started acting as if he was talking on the phone. In this way, he celebrated in the style of South African spinner Tabrez Shamsi. There was a lot of controversy in the World Cup 2023 regarding this type of celebration of Shamsi.
Jurel was out after scoring 7 runs in 14 balls.It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Jongwe has celebrated in this manner after taking a wicket. Earlier too he has been seen celebrating wickets in this manner.
