[Watch] Tabraiz Shamsi comes up with yet another unique celebration in SA20
Paarl Royals spinner Tabraiz Shamsi caught the attention of fans with his unique celebration during the team's fixture against the Durban Super Giants in the ongoing SA20 on Tuesday, January 17.
Shamsi dismissed opener Wiaan Mulder in the eighth over of the Super Giants' innings. Following the wicket, the left-arm spinner uprooted one of the stumps and used it as a stick while pretending to limp.
He tapped his hamstring while pointing towards the dressing room. Notably, the bowler injured his hamstring while celebrating a wicket against the Joburg Super Kings on January 13, and the celebration seemed to be a callback to the same.

Shamsi bowled just one over against the Super Kings and had to walk off the field due to injury. The crafty spinner had to miss the rest of the match because of the same.
He returned to the playing XI on Tuesday. Shamsi conceded 40 runs in his four overs while picking up a single wicket against the Super Giants.
