Emraan Hashmi Shares Ravindra Jadeja’s Celebration on Instagram
Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi shared an Instagram Story featuring Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket celebration during the second ODI between India and West Indies. Jadeja pulled off Hashmi’s viral hookstep after dismissing Amir Jangoo in the IND vs WI 2nd ODI 2026.
The celebration caught attention as Jadeja recreated the dance step associated with Hashmi from his upcoming movie ‘Gunmaster G9’, with Himesh Reshammiya providing the music for the film. Hashmi’s Instagram Story added another layer to the memorable cricket moment, with the actor acknowledging Jadeja’s celebration.
Ravindra Jadeja Breaks the Drought
Jadeja's return to the ODI squad for the West Indies series was met with mixed reactions, especially with Axar Patel and Washington Sundar unavailable due to Asian Games commitments. His performance in the 1st ODI, where he remained wicketless with figures of 0/54, only intensified the pressure, extending a lean patch that saw him pick up just one wicket in his last seven ODIs before this series, contributing to a high bowling average of 352. Reports indicated a wicketless streak spanning his last eight consecutive matches or 46 overs in the format, highlighting the urgency for a breakthrough.
However, in today's high-scoring encounter, Jadeja turned the tide. Facing a rampant West Indies batting lineup that posted a formidable 405/7 in their 50 overs, the left-arm spinner managed to chip in with two vital wickets. His first came by dismissing the dangerous centurion Amir Jangoo, who had blazed his way to 114 runs. Later, he also accounted for Alzarri Joseph. Jadeja finished his 10-over spell with figures of 2/75, a performance that, while expensive given the West Indies' mammoth total, provided the crucial breakthroughs India desperately needed.

The moment quickly became a talking point across social media, with fans speculating on its significance after a challenging phase for the veteran.
Ravindra Jadeja's ability to find wickets, especially after a period of struggle, will be a confidence booster for the all-rounder and the Indian team as they look ahead to future assignments and the ongoing series against West Indies. The focus now shifts to India's chase of the daunting 406-run target set by the West Indies.
