Pat Cummins Brilliant Gesture – What exactly happened? As the Aussies began to celebrate Ashes win over England, champagne was being sprayed freely.
This resulted in Usman Khawaja scampering off the stage and away from his teammates.
As Khawaja is a Muslim and his religion prevents him from drinking. He tried staying away from the Aussie celebration.
Australian captain Cummins noticed it. He immediately gestured his teammates to stop spraying the bubbly so that Khawaja can be part of team’s glorious victory celebrations.
Immediately he and Marnus Labuschagne called and gestured for Khawaja to rejoin the team.
