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.
