In the ongoing ODI tri-series cricket match between Pakistan and South Africa, Pakistani cricketer Kamran Ghulam found himself at the center of attention for his animated celebration after Saud Shakeel ran out the South African captain Temba Bavuma. The incident has sparked a mix of reactions, with some praising Ghulam’s passion and others criticizing his sportsmanship.
As Temba Bavuma attempted to steal a single, Shakeel quickly gathered the ball and threw it onto the stumps, catching the South African captain short of his crease. The Pakistani fielder’s swift reaction led to Bavuma’s dismissal, and Ghulam couldn’t contain his excitement.
In a moment that has gone viral on social media, Ghulam was seen celebrating right in Bavuma’s face, with a big smile and a thumbs-up. While the Pakistani player’s joy was evident, some have questioned the manner of his celebration, labeling it as unsportsmanlike and disrespectful towards Bavuma.
