Watch: Ecstatic Pavel Florin sprints into commentary box, grabs microphone to celebrate wicket

by Sarah Waris 2 minute read

Pavel Florin performed a celebration for the ages, running all the way up to the commentary box and screaming into the microphone in ecstasy after picking up a wicket.

In an ECS T10 match between Banaesa and Bucharest Gladiators, Pavel Florin, who shot to limelight couple of years ago for his unique bowling action, was over the moon after picking up a wicket in a game on July 15.

Bowling the ninth over of the innings, Gladiators’ Florin sent down a loopy delivery on middle and off. The batsman, however, found himself off balance as he top-edged the ball to the wicketkeeper to spark jubilant celebrations.

Florin could surely give competition to Imran Tahir, whose marathon runs around the stadiums after picking up a wicket have formed a key part of his legacy. The Romanian, however, did not limit himself to sprinting across the ground, as he ran up to the commentary box and grabbed the microphone to scream “Gladiators!” in an unfiltered display of his passion towards cricket.
