Hardik Pandya recreates his well-known T20 World Cup celebration with global YouTuber MrBeast and Indian creator CarryMinati. Multiple outlets report the three appear together in a viral crossover that revisits Pandya’s signature hands-out shrug used to mark India’s 2024 World Cup success.
The reports link the celebration’s popularity to India’s win over South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup final. One outlet also notes that the gesture is inspired by a social media shrug associated with Khaby Lame. Context across sources varies: Times of India and Yahoo Sports focus on MrBeast’s India visit and Pandya’s message expressing interest in MrBeast returning soon, while Free Press Journal adds additional instances of Pandya bringing back the celebration after other India triumphs.
All accounts describe the collaboration as taking place during MrBeast’s recent trip to India, with the American creator sharing photos and experiences from his time in the country. While details of timing and additional celebrations differ, the core point is consistent: Pandya, MrBeast, and CarryMinati recreate the iconic shrug and the clip circulates online.
