During Desert Vipers’ innings, Sam Curran had sparked some playful drama by mimicking Gulbadin Naib's famous bicep-flexing celebration. The incident happened in the 17th over when the Afghan star bowled a back-of-a-length delivery that Curran tapped towards long-off for a single.
Adding to the fun, Sam Curran gave Naib a friendly hug, but the Afghan all-rounder didn’t look amused by the playful gesture. Notably, Naib flexes his biceps in celebration whenever he takes a wicket or reaches the milestone with the bat during the matches.
