Chennai: West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell’s name on Sunday trended on Twitter after he scalped the wickets of India captain Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in the first ODI here.
#Cottrell trended with 1,071 tweets, with fans posting pictures of him doing his now-famous, celebratory military salute after dismissing a batsman.
One fan posted: “I usually love Cottrell’s military-style salute celebration but not against Kohli.”
Another cricket fan posted a picture of cartoon character Tom from ‘Tom and Jerry’ saluting and wrote: “Virat Kohli gone for 4… and Cottrell’s signature celebration….”
“That’s smart bowling from Cottrell, gets the pace off from that over, grabs @klrahul11 and @imVkohli,” read one post.
A user posted another old picture of the bowler posing in salutary pose: “Cottrell’s wicket taking celebration after dismissing VIRAT. I’m waiting for the moment when VIRAT imitates the celebration while hitting Cottrell.”
