The Indian Premier League keeps the fans entertained with its breathtaking cricketing action on the field. However, at times the fans also get to see some funny celebrations from the players who give rib-tickling moments with their antics on the field. A similar incident took place during Match 35 of IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday, April 25.

During the 13^th over of the second innings, left-arm spinner Noor Ahmad dismissed Suryakumar Yadav as he took a brilliant catch off his own bowling. The 18-year-old was immediately pumped up after getting the scalp of the big-hitting batter and funnily celebrated the wicket as he dropped the ball while trying to throw it in the air in jubilation. He further picked up the ball again and finally threw it in the air to celebrate.
