“I Do Not Understand”: Sunil Gavaskar on KL Rahul’s celebration style

KL Rahul scored a century against Mumbai Indians on Saturday at Brabourne Stadium which helped Lucknow Super Giants post 199/4 in the 20 overs. Avesh Khan then came back with three wickets and in the end, Lucknow registered their fourth win of the ongoing IPL 2022 season. Rahul had brought up his century in the 19th over of the innings and he then celebrated in his trademark “shutting the outside noise” style, covering his ears with his fingers.

However, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that he does not understand the reason behind celebrating in this way when you have scored a century.

“This is something which I do not understand. He is shutting down the noise but when you have got a hundred, you want to take in the applause. He should do this when he has scored four, five, six runs but when you got a hundred, take it out enjoy the applause everybody is applauding you, ” Gavaskar told Star Sports during the mid-innings break.
