10 unforgettable celebrations in cricket

The Shirtless Run by Andrew Flintoff, Sourav Ganguly

Part I : When Flintoff ran amuck at the Wankhede

Well, this should be the most iconic sledge reply of all time. Andrew Flintoff, after choking India at the Wankhede, ran around whirling his shirt before getting mobbed by his teammates at the culmination of an epic middle-order collapse by India. But, as the saying goes, destiny finds yourselves in the wildest of ways and Flintoff got a taste of his own medicine in the finals of the Natwest Trophy of 2002, where Ganguly returned the favour in front of a packed crowd, knocking out the hosts with a record chase at the Lord's, a ground that is as iconic to the English as the Wankhede is for the Indians.

The Helicopter Dance and the Palm Smash by S. Sreesanth

One of the most controversial characters to have ever taken the field from India, Sreesanth was a fiery bowler who wore his heart on his sleeves. Playing the fearless brand of cricket, often reminding Indians of the menacing overseas quickies, he was a delight to watch when on song. Given his issues with on-field temperament, it is of no surprise that he has featured in mutiple funny incidents in his celebrations. One was his helicopter dance, swirling his bat in a Jadeja-esque fashion, albeit over the top of his head and the next was his pumped up smashing the ground celebration after accounting for Matthew Hayden in the high-voltage semi-final clash of the 2007 World T20. As funny as it may seem now, that wicket turned the game on its head and saw a resurgent India snatch the victory from the jaws of defeat.

Sreesanth had a knack for looking funny while being aggressive!
