Rajasthan Royals spinner Wanindu Hasaranga did a Pushpa-style celebration after sending Vijay Shankar back to the pavilion. CSK is facing RR in Guwahati, and the Chennai Super Kings are chasing 182 set by the Rajasthan Royals team. CSK have never chased a target above 180 in the last few years, and let us hope they can break their jinx today. During the high-octane IPL match, Srilankan player and RR Spinner Hasranga did an interesting celebration.

Pushpa is a one-of-a-kind movie that set the trend not only in india but also in many parts of the world. The Pushpa swag became famous, and many cricket players like David Warner, Ravindra Jadeja copied the celebration from the movie and did it while playing cricket.

They used to do the Pushpa-style swag celebration whenever they scored fifty or a hundred during the matches. Now, Wanindu Hasranga, the Rajasthan Royals spinner, tried to replicate the same kind of swag celebration after he broke the sticks of Vijay Shankar during the match.

The Chennai Super Kings are now in a tough situation as they lost four wickets for 120 runs. The Rajasthan bowlers are exceptional in breaking the partnership of CSK whenever one arises. Vijay Shankar and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad started to build a partnership after losing three wickets, and the scoreboard pressure was slowly mounting over them.

Hasaranga's Pushpa Swag celebration

To release the pressure, Vijay Shankar hit Hasaranga for a six over mid-wicket. The Sri Lankan spinner came back hard at him the next ball by bowling a slower one, which bounced very little, breaking the stumps. Vijay didn't expect such a delivery from Hasaranga and got beaten by that. As he walked back to the pavilion, Hasaranga did a pushpa swag by slicing his neck with his hands. 

As Pushpa was a pan indian film, many fans from Assam enjoyed the celebration and did the same from the stands. CSK is now in big trouble, and they need someone to take the game till the end. 16 overs have been bowled, and CSK still need 54 runs to win. MS Dhoni and Ashiwn are yet to come to bat, and captain Ruturaj is taking the game deep.
