5 Cricketers and their unique celebrations

2. Denesh Ramdin’s message to Viv Richards after scoring a century:

West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin was severely criticized by Sir Vivian Richards for his indifferent form with the bat and his poor glovework during West Indies tour of England in the year 2012. Immediately after reaching his hundred in the Edgbaston Test, Ramdin took off his helmet and removed a piece of paper from his right pocket and flashed it aggressively towards the dressing room. The message read, YEH VIV TALK NAH.”

Ramdin was fined 20% of his match fees for his unnecessary gesture by match referee Roshan Mahanama. “We all understand the importance of celebrating a milestone, however, one should not use that time as an opportunity to hit out at one’s critic or send messages to the world.”

I hope Mr Ramdin has learnt his lesson from this incident and that we will not see such behaviour by him or any player in the future when celebrating an achievement within a game of international cricket,” Mahanama said.
