'Bus driver' triggers a twitter feud
Royal Challengers Bangalore spinner Tabraiz Shamsi has hit back at Adam Zampa after the Australian criticised his post-wicket celebration last Monday. Following the dismissal of Sunrisers Hyderabad captain David Warner -- caught in the deep by Virat Kohli for 92 -- Shamsi sprinted towards his skipper and started performing his trademark 'bus driver' dance. Zampa, who plays for Rising Pune Supergiants, tweeted his disapproval with a tweet: “Shamsi's wicket celebrations are no good.”
On Sunday Shamsi responded by tweeting: “Pretty disappointed 2 see someone who doesn't even know me at all n wasnt even involved in that game making comments about me…and I think Adam Zampa shud focus a little bit more on himself and ALOT LESS on me and my celebrations”
Now Australia coach Darren Lehmann has weighed in by tweeting: “Just watch the shamsi carry-on. Concentrate on bowling mate. Win games and then everyone will respect you and win?”
Warner himself spoke about the celebration: “I was looking at Virat and I don't think he was too impressed until he [Shamsi] got a bit closer. I think it's a bit hard for a captain to stand there and not go (through) the motions. In my team, if someone does that at 150 off 15 overs, I wouldn't accept that at all. I think it's a bit fancy to be honest.”
