Recently, Pakistan has produced several outstanding spinners who have not only made an impact with the ball but also with their celebratory flair. A prime example was during the first Test between Pakistan and England when Sajid Khan broke into a grand celebration after dismissing Harry Brook.

‌England made a solid start after winning the toss, with openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley guiding their side to 54/0 in 13 overs. However, Noman Ali broke the stand by dismissing Crawley in the 14th over. Sajid Khan then rattled the top order further by removing Ollie Pope, and soon after, Ali struck again, sending Duckett back to the pavilion, and ramping up the pressure on the visitors. Sajid added to the tension by claiming Harry Brook's wicket, followed by an intense celebration.

On the fourth ball of the 27th over, Sajid bowled a tossed-up delivery around the middle and leg stump, but Brook shuffled too far across, attempting a sweep. He missed, and the ball crashed into the leg stump, leaving Brook looking puzzled by his misjudged shot. Sajid responded with a fiery "thigh five" celebration, continuing it right in front of Brook as the Pakistan team embraced him for taking the prized wicket of the triple centurion. Twitter was abuzz, excitedly discussing Sajid’s celebration and its bold intensity on social media.
