India pacer Avesh Khan's celebratory dance moves after Tilak Varma's century in the ongoing Duleep Trophy game between India A and India D have gone viral. The match is being played at the Rural Development Stadium in Anantapur and is a crucial encounter for both teams, who have lost their opening games and will need to win this to stay alive in the competition.
The milestone moment for Varma took place on the second delivery of the 94th over. He guided a ball from India D spinner Saransh Jain past the slip fielder to the third-man area for two runs to bring up his century.
Varma looked elated as his teammates clapped from the dressing room, with Avesh performing the former's iconic 'Samaira celebration', one that Varma made go viral during the IPL, dedicated to his 'best friend' Samaira, Rohit Sharma's daughter.
