Sixes, Run-outs, Stunning catches - when asked about what the most exciting events are, in a cricket match, there are variable replies. Of late, celebrations have also attracted the eyes of the average viewer, as it is just another way wherein a player can express his creativity on-field.

But even celebrations are to be carried out in a manner that sticks to the spirit of the game, and when it goes out-of-limits, it is often an ugly sight.

Sohail Tanvir definitely has to learn that lesson, as witnessed from the way he sent Ben Cutting off in yesterday's hotly-contested Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.

Cutting misjudged a Tanvir yorker which sent the bails crackling, after which the latter gave the former his finger while he was returning to the dugout. Watch the video here:

His actions were completely uncalled for and are likely to land him in serious trouble. The celebration has taken up Twitteratti by storm, as several people including many from the cricketing fraternity itself, raised their voices over the situation.
