Funny ways of celebrating a victory

Everyone knows West Indies’ players love celebrating each moment - on and off field. When they compete among themselves, it is more fun, as we have seen last night.

What led to the fun and celebration?

 

West Indies beat South Africa by three runs in the group 1 match, almost knocking the pre-tournament group favourites out of the contest.

 

Chasing a modest total of 122, Marlon Samuels (43 from 44 balls) and Johnson Charles (32 of 35 balls) guided the former champions to a win 19.4 overs with three wickets in hand.

 

Most of the funny moments and entertainments came during the South African innings.

 

It was started by none other than Chris Gayle when he dismissed Rilee Rossouw, with a typical Gayle dance.

The next turn was of West Indies’ official ‘DJ’ Dwayne Bravo. He bowled the dangerous AB de Villiers out and the celebrations were in full swing, with some Gangham style.

 

 

 Will Chris Gayle showcase a different style of dance when he gets another wicket? Gayle was brought back to attack by captain Darren Sammy, and he proved his captain’s decision straight away, castling David Miller. What did he do?

 

It was surely an occasion to celebrating, when the team ensures its place in the semi final, so the celebration went on - to the dressing room and to late night.

 

Might be Gayle is leading the post match dance and celebrations, but don’t you believe that Dwayne Bravo is the official entertainer in the team?

 

Watch this music video released by Bravo just a day ahead.

 

Still you want to go back to the match and watch its full highlights, here it is…
