The meaning behind the celebration drew the curiosity of fans and experts worldwide, but the veteran opener refused to elaborate on it, stating that some things are “not meant to be shared”. South African cricket great Herschelle Gibbs , however, was not impressed by the celebration, jokingly calling it a “stinker” and stating that he would message Rohit about it. Rohit Sharma slammed a superb century in India’s second ODI against West Indies on Thursday, and did a unique jumping celebration after reaching the ton.
I said, ‘Man, after 50 overs of fielding and batting almost for 25-30 overs, I was never going to do that’,” he said.
So yeah, that was for me,” Rohit said. I said, ‘I’ll tell you in the dressing room’. Rohit was asked to explain the meaning behind the celebration after the match, but he stated that he’d keep it for himself. “I’ll keep that celebration for myself. It’s for me. Some things are just meant to be with you, not to be shared. “He (Jadeja) was asking me what that was about. But he was quite innovative. He wanted me to come and slide and jump, and that’s how he wanted me to celebrate.
