KL Rahul's 'This is my home ground' celebration after Delhi Capitals' (DC) six-wicket win over Bengaluru on Thursday at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium went viral on social media. Another Team India star recently came up with a similar gesture.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) trumped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by eight wickets at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Friday, April 11. Following the game, KKR's mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy did the 'this is my home ground' celebration.

The crafty bowler grew up in Chennai and represents Tamil Nadu in domestic cricket. Here's a video of his gesture:

Varun Chakaravarthy bowled a fine spell of 4-0-22-2 against Chennai. The home team scored 103/9 after 20 overs after batting first. Kolkata chased down the modest total in just 10.1 overs, handing CSK their biggest defeat in terms of balls to spare.
