Jadeja first unveiled the sword celebration in a Test match against England in Mohali in 2016. Asked at the press conference about it, Jadeja had called it a trademark Rajputana style celebration.
Now, in an intra-squad practice match in the CSK camp, Curran, batting alongside Jadeja, was seen imitating the sword celebration as Jadeja looked on. Curran isn’t the first one to try and imitate the celebration with David Warner attempting to do so before the IPL 2020 camp with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
