Abrar Ahmed bowled brilliantly in the first T20 against Australia before the T20 World Cup 2026. This performance played an important role in Pakistan cricket team winning the match. But in this match, his controversial wicket celebration was seen, which he had not been doing for a long time. When he was asked whether he would continue this in the T20 World Cup 2026, he gave a shameless answer. Without taking names, he said for Team India that he will do it whenever he feels like it.

Abrar Ahmed’s wicket celebration was in a lot of controversy last year, when he gestured with his head to the batsman and asked him to return to the pavilion. There was more uproar over this when he did this after dismissing Shubman Gill in the Champions Trophy. In an interview, he had told that after this uproar he had stopped celebrating.

What did Abrar Ahmed say?

Abrar Ahmed, who came to the press conference after the first T20 against Australia, was asked about his wicket celebration. The journalist asked, “You have done your old celebration again, which you were not doing for a long time. So will we see these celebrations in the T20 World Cup too or was it just for today?” On this, Abrar said, “I will keep doing whenever I feel like it. There are some teams against whom I will keep doing.”
