PSL 2022: Rilee Rossouw's funny half-century celebration gives fans' a reason of joy

Match no eight of the ongoing Pakistan Super League between Multan Sultans and Islamabad United turned out to be a high-scoring affair that was won by Sultans by 20 runs. The batters who shined well from the Sultans’ end were Tim David (71 off 29) and Rilee Rossouw who remained unbeaten after playing a classy knock of 67 off 35.

Though Sultans won the game by a comfortable margin, their star batter Rossouw bagged the limelight for other reasons. During the game, the South Africa batter was seen carrying out a funny celebration after hitting a six off Hasan Ali which completed his half-century. Ali, who picked one wicket after conceding 52 runs in his quota of four overs, was sent for a sensational six by Rossouw and the batter celebrated it with a funny dance on the field.

As soon as the video of the same went viral, the batter came up with a reason from his end as to why he carried that typical move. “Have to keep promises you make. You guys must thank my 7-year-old daughter for that one.” So, it was clear that the batter did the funny dance at the request of his seven-year-old daughter.

Talking of the game, Islamabad won the toss and chose to field first where their decision backfired as Sultans went to post a huge total of 217 runs on the board. David and Rossouw were instrumental in pushing their side breach the 200-run mark. Apart from these two batters, opener Shah Masood took the team to a flying start with his 31-ball 43.

Talking of the chase game, United batters couldn’t absorb the pressure well and kept losing their wickets in regular intervals. Shadab Khan was the brightest spot and the lone warrior from their batting setup who smashed 91 off 42 but it went in the drain as he failed to receive support from the other end. Khushdil Shah picked four wickets for his side while David Wiley got three to his credit.
