After Sarfaraz, MP’s Yash Dubey Gave A Tribute To Sidhu Moose Wala After Stunning Century: Mumbai’s Sarfaraz Khan smashed a stunning century in the Ranji Trophy final against Madhya Pradesh, on Thursday. After completing his century, an emotional Sarfaraz Khan gave a heartfelt tribute to the late singer Sidhu Moose Wala by imitating his signature ‘thigh-slap’ or ‘thappi’. Later on, he also confirmed that it was his tribute to the Punjabi singer.
This was for Sidhu – Sarfaraz Khan
Following his stunning century on Day 2, Sarfaraz Khan revealed that the signature step was his tribute to the late singer. He also revealed that he “loves his songs.” He had said:
“This was for Sidhu Moosewala. I love his songs and mostly me and Hardik Tamore (keeper) listen to his songs. I did a similar kind of celebration during an earlier match also (in his memory), but then, Hotstar didn’t show it. I had decided once I score another hundred, I would repeat the celebration,”
The celebration from Sarfaraz Khan is an absolute pleasure to watch. pic.twitter.com/QamNJ5Ua7g
