West Indies pace bowler Keemo Paul mocked senior Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan with the latter’s signature celebration style during the fourth One Day International (ODI) match between India and Windies on Monday.
The incident took place in the 12th over of the first innings, when K Paul was bowling and Shikhar Dhawan was at the crease. Paul bowled a short bowl to Dhawan and the left-handed batsman got carried away as he hit the ball to the mid-wicket in the safe hands of Kieran Powell.
