On West Indies Star's "Toota Hai Gabba Ka Ghamand" Welcome At LSG, Australia Legend's Response

West Indies pacer Shamar Joseph was welcomed by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year in a unique way. LSG took to X (formerly Twitter), posting a video of Shamar being asked about the Wi-Fi password of the room he was sitting in.

Shamar replied, "Toota hai Gabba ka ghamand (The Gabba's pride has been shattered), referring to India's famous win over Australia in Brisbane's Gabba stadium back in 2021, which marked Australia first loss at that venue in a Test after 32 years and a series win for India by 2-1. After Rishabh Pant hit the match-winning shot during a run-chase of 328 runs, commentator and former cricketer Vivek Razdan said these words, which has since then become an iconic piece of commentary in cricket, considering how hard-fought the series was for India due to absence of their key players, including Virat Kohli.

Notably, Shamar was at the forefront when West Indies breached the 'Gabba fortress' of Australia again after three years, beating them in the second Test of the two-match series held in January by eight runs to level the series. The young pacer's toe was crushed by a scorching Mitchell Starc yorker while batting, but he came back to deliver an incredible spell of 7/68 in 11.5 overs, bundling out Australia for 207 runs in a run-chase of 216 runs. This was Shamar's debut series.

Shamar took eight wickets in total during the match and became the 'Player of the Match'.

Joseph capped off his remarkable month by clinching ICC Men's Player of the Month for
