Men’s Hundred | Twitter lights up over Akeal Hosein's gun celebration following double wicket haul
West Indies players are often recognized for their distinctive celebrations, and some even create their signature styles after taking a wicket. A similar moment unfolded in the final match of the Hundred when Akeal Hosein celebrated his two-wicket haul with a unique celebration of his own.
On the 67th ball, Hosein delivered a length ball around off stump to Curran, who attempted a cross-shot but only managed a top edge that soared high. Archer easily caught the ball as Curran walked off. On the next delivery, Hosein bowled a quick, straight ball on off stump. The Oval skipper tried to whip it across but missed entirely, and the ball crashed into the stumps. Hosein, visibly pumped, celebrated by pointing to the dugout and making a shooting gesture with his hand, a moment that resonated with fans on social media.

Again
Akeal Hosein has picked up back to back wickets, the spinner has just turned the game, amazing thing is his control and variation of the pace, doesn’t bowl the lose deliveries and that’s why the Caribbean off spinner is rarely hit for the boundaries. What a talent this man is!

He is by far the best left arm spinner from the West. What a character!

Not far enoogh
#cricket #TheHundred #OIvSB S Curran goes big against Akeal Hosein but sends it too high and not far enough, and Archer takes the catch. Invincibles 93-3 (67), S Curran 25 (20). Akeal Hosein then bowls Sam Billings first ball and it is 93-4 (68).
