Tabraiz Shamsi celebrates wicket in style, sends out a flying kiss to his wife
The 29-year old is already popular for his “boot” celebration where he pretends to call his idol (veteran South African cricketer Imran Tahir). He celebrates in this manner after taking any wicket on the field. While playing for Paarl Rocks against Cape Town Blitz at the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town, Shamsi took out his shoe in his own style and then sent out a flying kiss to his wife sitting in the stands.

The incident occurred during the 11th over of Blitz's innings. Right-hander Asif Ali, who was batting on 13 at the time, holed out to Faf du Plessis off Tabraiz Shamsi's bowling to further escalate Cape Town Blitz's troubles. Cape Town Blitz eventually fell short by 2 runs to register their third defeat in the ongoing Mzansi Super League.
