Pakistan created history by winning Hong Kong Super Sixes 2025 title. Thry defeated Australia by a narrow margin in the semi-finals and won the final against Kuwait by a 43-run margin. After winning the match, Muhammad Shahzad’s celebration has been making headlines on social media. This young cricketer has copied Hardik Pandya’s famous style during India’s T20 World Cup victory in Barbados last year.

This is how Shahzad imitated Pandya’s famous style

Fast-bowling all-rounder Shahzad imitated Pandya’s famous style, posing with his shoulders raised on the ground with the trophy. He shared the photo on his official Instagram account. Fans are taking a dig at him with hilarious reactions. The motive behind Shahzad’s celebration remains unclear: whether it was a salute to one of Asia’s leading seam all-rounders or a response to the recent talks between the two countries. This celebration came into the spotlight when Pandya first adopted it after dismissing Shadab Khan during India’s victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup last year. The style became popular after India’s ICC Trophy win and was replicated during their victory in the ICC Champions Trophy in the UAE this year.

It’s worth noting that Mohammad Shahzad emerged as Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in the tournament, taking seven wickets. Shahzad has represented Pakistan at the Under-19 level, but he has yet to make his senior team debut. He recently made headlines representing Pakistan in the President’s Cup final, where he took five wickets, including a hat-trick, and followed it up with an unbeaten century.

Pakistan looked in excellent form in the final against Kuwait. Abbas Afridi’s explosive 52 off just 11 balls helped Pakistan post 132. Their bowlers then restricted Kuwait to 93, securing a comfortable victory to win the Hong Kong Sixes title for a record sixth time.
