Winning Move There’s a story behind every celebration and former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar recently revealed his.



He said that he celebrated wickets by running around, arms outstretched like a plane because he wanted to be a fighter pilot.



Check out the behind-the-pitch tales of other cricketers:

On-Field Antics Misbah ul Haq



The former Pakistani batsman used to fall to the ground and do 10 push-ups every time he scored a ton.



The cricketer used to be in the army where push-ups were a routine during training.



So, when Haq took up the bat, he promised his army friends that he would pay tribute to them by doing the drill whenever he did his nation proud.



Off the field: Haq could take his push-up skills to start a gym. Its USP? 10 pushups in 10 seconds.



The Chainsaw Move Brett Lee



The former Australian bowler often mimicked pulling a chainsaw in the air after dismissing batsmen.



Lee said that as a kid he used to be fascinated by a chainsaw that his dad used. “I loved the precision it had in cutting wood... And when you bowl, you upset the wood of the stump,” he said.



Off the field: Lee also wears a musician’s hat. He can add a carpentry feather to it too,



Disco Dancer S Sreesanth



Cricket’s controversial boy, who recently had his lifelong ban overturned, was famous for his celebration style.



Much like many on this list who danced to revel, Sreesanth, a trained dancer, showedoff different dance moves when he took a wicket, or in some cases, hit a boundary.



Off the field: Now that he can return to the cricket pitch, Sreesanth could train team mates and have a ‘bowlers ballroom dance-off’.
