A new trend in the IPL. Players launch mass 'note celebration'
This IPL 2026 season has witnessed the rise of a new cultural phenomenon that’s redefining the way cricketers celebrate on the field.
Details: The trendsetter is the talented Abhishek Sharma, who first introduced the 'note celebration.' Initially seen as a one-off gesture, this ritual quickly caught fire, spreading across the league from Hyderabad to Lucknow and captivating key players everywhere.
The essence of this new trend is simple: after claiming a crucial wicket or smashing a key run, players reveal pre-written paper messages to the cameras.
The content of these notes is deeply personal and emotional: some dedicate their success to the 'Orange Army' of fans, while others, like Tushar Deshpande, write heartfelt words to their fathers.
Reminder: Here you can find the schedule and results of upcoming matches.
