Watch: Saqlain Sajib goes crazy after hitting the winnings runs in BPL 3: A thrilling opening match between Rangpur Riders and Chittagong Vikings marked the beginning of Bangladesh Premier League 2015. The Riders made an inspiring comeback to win the match by 2 wickets.

After blistering knocks from Misbah, Perera and Darren Sammy, the match came down boiling to 14 runs required from the last over. Arafat Sunny and Darren Sammy were the batsmen in the middle. Sammy hit a six off the second ball of the final over by Shafiul Islam. He looked in fine touch. Sammy took a double and hit a boundary off the next two balls to bring the chase closer to them.

However, there was another twist to the match as Sammy was run out on the very next ball. He tried to retain his strike by converting the single into a double but fell short. Rangpur Riders needed 1 from the last delivery now. Tail-ender Saqlain Sajib was the next batsman in. It was a crunching situation for both the teams. Shafiul ran in to bowl the last delivery at Sajib. It was a full delivery which Sajib hit straight down the ground and took the all important single and win the match. The whole Rangpur Riders team ran inside the ground and celebrated like they won the tournament. The crowd was cheering and dancing along the team.

However, Saqlain Sajib, who hit the winnings runs, went berserk. He threw his bat in the air and raced towards his teammates with his hands up in the air and looked unstoppable (Sammy had to pull him to stop the over-excited Sajib). He looked possessed more than been overjoyed by the thrilling victory. Soon, Sajib separated himself from the team and began punching the air alone. He ended his hilarious celebration with impromptu dance moves.

There was no doubt that the match was entertaining. However, the wild celebrations by the Rangpur Riders team and Saqlain Sajib stole the show.
