After this, the umpire in question was seen hilariously dancing, also showing the mode of dismissal. The entire routine lasted for a few seconds before the game resumed. The video has garnered over 111,000 likes and has received a lot of views. 

This isn’t the first time such a video has surfaced on social media. Local cricket matches in India get a lot of bizarre and funny umpiring moments. Not just the umpires but also the players tend to come up with some hilarious moments or out-of-the-world feats that catch the eye and become viral. 

A few days ago, in a junior cricket match, the entire team were seen dancing ‘Bhangra’ after running out a batter. The moment not only caught the imagination of the fan but also was able to get a lot of views and likes on social media.

Recalling some of the unique umpires in international cricket

David Shepherd was one of the most loved umpires during his long and illustrious career as an official. Shepherd was known to hop whenever a team’s score reached 111, or simply known as the Nelson. This routine was done till a batter or team didn’t get past the Nelson. 

While David Shepherd was known for hilarious hops for superstition, Billy Bowden was known for his unique way of officiating. When a batter was out the New Zealander would raise his finger in a crooked manner to signal the decision. Many commentators began to notice this whenever Bowden was officiating. 

Bowden’s method of signalling four or six was also unique, and many cricket fans fell in love with the antics they were seeing. Funnily, during an Australia vs New Zealand T20 game, Bowden showed former Australian legend Glenn McGrath to leave everyone in splits. The incident happened as McGrath bowled an underarm ball in jest towards the end of the game.
