Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed draws widespread attention during the first Test against Australia after a “bizarre” celebration following the wicket of Cameron Green. On Day 1, Taskin’s unusual reaction—captured on camera as he performs a playful dance with his tongue out—spreads quickly on social media.
Green departs in Australia’s first innings at Darwin after miscues a shot off a length delivery from Taskin. The ball goes to mid-wicket, where Bangladesh veteran Mushfiqur Rahim takes a catch. Reports say Green scores 13 runs off 13 deliveries.
Outlets also describe the broader context of Bangladesh’s early bowling impact. They note that the pacers make use of helpful conditions in Darwin, with Hasan Mahmud taking two early wickets and Ebadot Hossain removing Marnus Labuschagne. By lunch, Bangladesh is reported to have reduced Australia to 74/4. While the viral celebration becomes the standout talking point online, coverage generally frames it as happening amid a strong opening spell by Bangladesh’s fast bowlers.
