T20 World Cup 2022: Wayne Parnell emulates Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration after Suryakumar Yadav's wicket

Team South Africa bowled extremely well and restricted India to a low of score 133 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Batter Suryakumar Yadav was the top performer for the Indian side as he stroked an excellent fifty. However, it was the South African bowlers, particularly, Lungi Ngidi and Wayne Parnell who did most of the damage to the Indian batting line-up.

Meanwhile, Parnell's reaction after scalping the big wicket of Suryakumar is going viral on social media platforms. The left-arm seamer bowled his full four-over quota and gave away just 15 runs and returned with three wickets to his name.

After scalping the big wicket of Suryakumar, Parnell emulated football icon Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration in Perth. Giving more details about the celebration, Cristiano Ronaldo did the same celebration after he scored his first Premier League goal of the season against Everton. Ronaldo also did this celebration after scoring in the Europa League vs FC Sheriff.

Ronaldo is a living legend in the Football arena and we have seen several cricketing stars imitating his celebration in cricketing leagues and tournaments around the globe. 

Apart from Parnell, pacer Ngidi also bowled extremely well and was the top performer for his side as he took four crucial wickets and simply brushed aside the Indian batting line-up. He only gave away 29 runs in his four-over quota. Express pacer Anrich Nortje also took one wicket of Deepak Hooda, who had replaced Axar Patel in the playing combination for the game, and gave away just 23 runs in his four-over quota.

Meanwhile, Indian batter Suryakumar Yadav hit 68 from 40 balls, scoring more than 50 percent of India's total of 133 in 20 overs. Apart from him, all the Indian batters struggled to score runs including skipper Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and the in-form Virat Kohli.
