After completing the hat-trick, Chahal pulled off an iconic pose and speaking about the celebration during the innings break he explained how his viral moment from 2019 inspired him to do the celebration.
"Feeling very good, it was the 19th over and in front of me was Mahi bhai, felt it could go either way, but the plan was to go for wickets. Five fielders were inside and the plan was to bowl on the stumps and also to bowl wide, not bowl easy balls and play with the batter's mind. It came from the memes and I had planned to do this celebration if I take a five-fer or a hat-trick," said Chahal after the first innings.
Coming to his performance, Chahal had a quiet start in his first two overs giving away 23 runs. However, he brought back in the death overs stage to keep MS Dhoni and other CSK batters quiet. Safe to say, he did more than brilliant taking four wickets in one over.
