Kapil Sharma noticed the celebration and shared the post on Twitter with a good laugh. On air, commentator Ian Bishop was heard saying that Nurse's celebration was in honour of his friend Sunny Sohal, whom the bowler met at the end of one CPL season. Bishop also knew what the famous gesture is called. However, this is not the first time when Nurse's unique celebrations made the headlines. In October 2018, Nurse first did the 'Babaji Ka Thullu' celebrations during an international clash against India in Pune. The off-spinner got hold of the Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan and later followed it up with this jolly celebration.
