Watch: Serbian bowler’s unique celebration has left viewers in awe

Unique celebrations are part of every sport and cricket is no stranger to it. Over the years, several cricketers have brought in their specific celebrations to commemorate specific occasions. However, Serbian cricketer Ayo Mene-Ejegi took it to a different level and ICC was quick to display that on their official Instagram handle.

Mene-Ejegi, 31, has represented both Nigeria and Serbia on the international stages, taking many wickets. He added four more in his kitty against Isle of Man in a recent match, and celebrated with a somersault after claiming each wicket. While somersault is a celebration that has not been prevalent in cricket, it took the viewers to another time in another sport, to Germany great Miroslav Klose and his iconic celebration, the somersault.
