Meet Medhavi Bidhuri, the cricketer who is internet’s new heartthrob

Medhavi Bidhuri, the 20-year-old leg spinner, has become the internet's latest heartthrob after her viral '6-7' hand gesture celebration during the Women's Delhi Premier League 2026. During Central Delhi Queens' tournament opener, Bidhuri dismissed South Delhi Superstarz batter Nishika Singh in the 16th over. After taking the wicket, she raised and lowered both hands in the distinctive '6-7' gesture, which has gained popularity among Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences.

The celebration was inspired by Bidhuri's younger sister, who suggested she wear jersey number 67 to combine the jersey number with the viral '6-7' trend. Bidhuri finished the match with impressive figures of 2/24 from four overs. Despite Central Delhi Queens losing by 29 runs, the cricket world has taken notice of Bidhuri's unique celebration, making her a viral sensation on social media.
