If you’ve been watching PSL 10 and wondering what’s up with the celebrations of Islamabad United all-rounder Imad Wasim, you’re not alone.
The iconic pose. The confident walk. The nod to football stars. It’s not random at all — it’s pure vibes backed by team bonding and a little PlayStation magic.
In a recent chat on the PSL’s official YouTube channel, Imad finally spilt the beans. And honestly, it just makes you love the guy even more.
Imad Wasim, now 36 but still very much a game-changer, revealed that his wicket celebrations are pre-planned — and no, not just by him.
“Our celebrations are actually planned in advance with the whole team, including the management,” he said with a grin. “We plan it all in our FIFA sessions.”
That’s right. The Islamabad United camp turns into a mini football arena when they’re off the field. PS controllers in hand, they battle it out on FIFA. And those sessions? That’s where the celebration ideas come from.
If his post-wicket gestures remind you of Mohamed Salah or Kylian Mbappé, it’s no coincidence. Imad confirmed it himself.
“We spend a lot of our downtime playing FIFA together, so I should clarify – these aren’t random acts, each player has their own celebration this season, and I’ve chosen to pay tribute to footballers Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé,” Imad Wasim clarified.
And he’s owning it — whether it’s the hands-in-prayer stance like Salah or the folded arms like Mbappé, Imad’s making it part of the PSL’s entertainment package.
Here’s the best part: the celebrations aren’t just for show. Imad is backing them up with solid performances.

In just three matches so far, he’s picked up six wickets, with best figures of 3 for 26. His bowling has been tight, smart, and crucial for Islamabad United in the middle overs.
Imad emphasized that these celebrations are part of a bigger picture — team bonding.
“Before every match, we decide as a group which celebration I’ll do if I get wickets,” he shared. “It’s just our way of having fun and staying connected as a unit.”
