During the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL), Virat Kohli’s former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) teammate Glenn Maxwell mimicked his iconic crowd silence celebration after taking a catch.
The incident happened in a match between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Stars when Glenn Maxwell took an impressive catch and gestured to the Sydney crowd to remain quiet by putting his fingers on the lips.
In the seventh over of Sydney Thunder’s innings, Matthew Gilkes tried to smash Usama Mir’s delivery for a six but mistimed his shot. Positioned at long-on, Glenn Maxwell made an impressive leap to secure a sharp catch. Gilkes departed after contributing 26 runs from 16 balls, which included three fours and a six.
