Former Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu has expressed disapproval of Akash Singh’s ‘chit celebration’ during a recent IPL match. Akash, who performed well in the game, celebrated each wicket by displaying a note with a message, sparking a new trend in IPL 2026.
The trend of players revealing notes during matches has gained popularity, with several players following suit. However, Rayudu voiced his opposition to this practice, calling it “nonsense” and suggesting that such celebrations should be prohibited.
Rayudu, along with other former cricketers like Mitchell McClenaghan and Dale Steyn, criticized the focus on dramatic celebrations rather than performance. Akash defended his actions, stating that the notes serve as motivation for him during games.
