Ashes 2021-22: Pat Cummins calls Usman Khawaja to pose for team photograph, asks teammates to hold their champagne celebrations

Australia have annihilated England in the 2021-22 Ashes series. The Pat Cummins led side bossed over their opposition in the entire Test series, and hammered them by a margin of 4-0.

And, when the Aussies were celebrating their sensational victory over their arch-rivals the Aussie players were ready to open their bottle of champagne. However, Usman Khawaja is a Muslim and his religion does not allow him to indulge in champagne. And, Khawaja was staying away.

But then, Cummins asked Khawaja to first come over and pose for the photo, and after that he asked his teammates to continue their celebrations with the champagne bottle.

“This might be a small gesture but this is what makes Pat Cummins great. He realised Khawaja had to dip because of the booze and rectifies it,” read a tweet showcasing Cummins’ wonderful gesture.
