The world was already aware of Bangladesh's budding left-arm seamer Shoriful Islam's wicket-taking ability before he splayed the stumps of Reeza Hendricks in the 23rd game of the World Cup but no one saw the 22-year-old pacer's next move coming.
The Panchagor-born (Bangladesh) did quite a celebration that pleasantly surprised fans of the sport all around the world. He pulled off the signature step of Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan from his movie 'Kaho Na Pyar Hai' and relished the moment.
The movie featured the song 'Ek pal ka jeena' and Hrithik grooved to a special dance step that was choreographed particularly for that song. Shoriful's teammates rallied around him in ecstasy as he danced in jubilation.
Watch Shoriful Islam's celebration:
However, little did he know that it was the only wicket that was to come his way. South Africa made a resounding comeback in the game after Hendrick's departure as Quinton de Kock led the charge with the bat and hammered the Bangladesh bowlers to all parts of the park.
Quinton took his time early on and then launched an onslaught of gargantuan proportions which caught the Shakib Al Hasan-led side totally off guard.
The South African wicketkeeper-batter smashed a 140-ball 174 and scaled several milestones during the course of his marathon knock - the highest individual score by a designated wicketkeeper in ODI World Cup history, and the first Protea to score three World Cup tons in a single edition to name a few.
South Africa posted a mammoth 382 on the board and broke the back of Bangladesh's batting order as soon as their run chase got underway. The Bangla Tigers were reduced to 81 for the loss of six wickets after 22 overs and were staring down the barrel.
But the rescue act came and that too in style as veteran batter Mahmudullah batted with the tail and scored a valiant ton (111 off 111 balls) to salvage Bangladesh's pride at the end.
