Abhishek Sharma set a new record in a T20I match against Afghanistan, reaching a century in just 30 balls. This broke Rohit Sharma's previous record for the fastest Indian century in the format. However, his jubilant celebration took an unexpected turn. After taking his three figures, Sharma removed his helmet, placed down his bat, and sat cross-legged on the pitch in a meditative pose.
Fans quickly drew comparisons between Sharma's celebration and that of Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, who is known for his post-goal meditation routine. Haaland has revealed that the celebration is a result of his meditation practices, which provide him with a sense of peace and tranquility. Pictures comparing the two players' celebrations began circulating online, highlighting the uncanny resemblance.
Sharma's remarkable achievement not only helped India secure a 127-run victory over Afghanistan but also secured a 3-0 series sweep in the ongoing series.
