ILT20: The “Pushpa” celebration, inspired by Allu Arjun’s blockbuster movie Pushpa: The Rise, has gone viral in the cricketing world. From David Warner to Ravindra Jadeja and Suryakumar Yadav to Nitish Reddy, cricketers in every format have taken up the signature gesture that Allu Arjun did–where he just rubbed his chin with the back of his hand while walking with swagger.
The newest entrant into the league of trend-followers is Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir. While the ILT20 continues to roll out in Dubai, Amir celebrated after getting Rohan Mustafa with his trademark chin-flick on Thursday while playing for Desert Vipers against Sharjah Warriorz.

Taking his third wicket when Mustafa was caught by Sam Curran at mid-off, Curran was on his knees in taking the catch when Amir gave himself a celebratory chin-wipe with the back of his hand.
