Watch: Umpire Does A John Cena During Caribbean Premier League Game

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and cricket are quite different from each other. While one is an American professional wrestling promotion that involves a physical fight between the players, the other is a form of sport that has players competing with each other on the ground using their batting, bowling, and fielding skills. However, there are no boundaries for the star players. A great WWE wrestler is also famous among cricketers and vice versa. In such a case, there is no surprise over the fact that John Cena has many fans in the field of cricket too. However, a cricket umpire in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) took the fandom to the next level.

During the Qualifier 1 match between Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders in CPL 2023, umpire Nigel Duguid used John Cena's iconic hand gesture - 'You can't see me'.

The event took place after Guyana Amazon Warriors spinner Iman Tahir appealed for an LBW for the wicket of Mark Deyal on the first ball of the fifth over of Trinbago Knight Riders' innings.

Watch the video here:

It was a fuller ball from Tahir that hit Dayal on the front pad. The umpire himself could not see the ball as Tahir went right in front of him during the follow-through. That was when the umpire used John Cena's iconic hand gesture to express himself.

For a moment, Tahir was left confused by the umpire's gesture. However, the umpire soon clarified him.

Tahir immediately went for a review and TV umpire Leslie Reifer found out that the ball would have hit right between the leg and middle stumps. Dayal thus had to depart at the score of 15 off 11 balls.

Talking about the game, Chadwick Walton's 80 not-out off 57 took Trinbago Knight Riders home in 18.1 overs with 7 wickets in hand.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.
