The delivery to Harry Brook was one of those ‘oh wow’ moments. Sajid floated a length ball outside off-stump, Brook shuffled back, attempting to get away—but no chance. The ball turned in sharply, shattered the stumps, and the crowd erupted.
And then came the celebration. It was infectious, it was fun, and even the cameraman couldn’t resist joining in on the moves!
A Career Full of Highs and Lows
Sajid’s celebrations aren’t just about the thrill of the game; they’re fueled by a deep personal journey. In his post-match interview, Sajid opened up about his career’s rollercoaster and the origins of his celebration.
“The story behind my celebration is that whenever I play cricket, I perform and get dropped,” Sajid shared. From school cricket to U13 and U16 in Peshawar, his journey has been full of strong performances followed by sudden exclusions from the team.
