With millions of views on social media, Imad Wasim's FIFA-inspired celebrations have become a sensation, showcasing the team's fun and playful side, and setting them apart in the Pakistan Super League, as they continue to make waves with their cricket and FIFA fusion.
Imad Wasim, Islamabad United's star all-rounder, has revealed that the team's vibrant spirit is inspired by a love for FIFA video games, with players gathering before matches to decide on football celebration styles for wicket-taking scenarios.
This unique tradition has become a hallmark of Islamabad United's camaraderie, fostering unity among players and boosting morale in the high-stakes Pakistan Super League. Wasim's wicket celebrations, inspired by football stars like Mohamed Salah and Antoine Griezmann, have gone viral, garnering millions of views on social media and making the team a fan favorite.
However, Imad Wasim faced backlash from fans for his new celebration style after taking a wicket in a PSL 10 match against Karachi Kings. The celebration, which involved jumping and placing one hand on his forehead, was deemed "cringeworthy" by some fans who took to social media to express their displeasure. Despite the controversy, Islamabad United won the match, securing a four-wicket victory in 17.1 overs and remaining unbeaten in PSL 10 with eight points from four matches.
The combination of cricket and FIFA has brought a fresh and exciting element to the Pakistan Super League, with fans eagerly anticipating Imad Wasim's next wicket celebration.
