Nothing expresses emotions better than a quirky celebration

#1 Sreesanth vs South Africa; India's tour of South Africa 2006

Sreesanth
Sreesanth responds in some fashion to Andre Nel's sledging

It was the first test match of the series during India’s 2006-07 tour of South Africa. The match was played at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Andre Nel, the Proteas bowler was charged up during India’s second innings. He even exchanged few words with the Indian batsmen during the innings.

He did the same with Sreesanth. But Sreesanth replied with the bat. He smashed a six the very next ball, came down the track to dance past Nel whilst waving his bat. Though it was peculiar, the celebration was a befitting reply to Nel by the Indian pacer. India won that match by 123 runs.
