The 29-year-old West Indies captain was a treat to watch after reached his fifty, his first in T20s.

Though S Sreesanth failed his fans after the spot-fixing scandal, this celebration won him a strong applause.

Praveen Kumar had a successful outing in IPL 6 but his celebrations were a tad 'different'.
We haven't forgotten that he was reprimanded by match referee Dhananjay Singh for abusing an opposition player during a match in BCCI's Corporate Trophy in Raipur.
It was learnt that the match referee had described Praveen as "mentally unfit" in his report to the BCCI.
