Delhi leg-spinner Medhavi Bidhuri has gone viral for her '6-7' wicket celebration during the Women's Delhi Premier League 2026. Playing for Central Delhi Queens, she produced the gesture after dismissing South Delhi Superstarz batter Nishika Singh in the 16th over, with Arushi Goel taking the catch at mid-wicket. The video quickly spread on social media.
Bidhuri said her younger sister suggested she wear jersey number 67 and use the celebration. The right-arm spinner has been part of Delhi's domestic setup for years, representing the state at Under-19 level and playing in the Women's Premier League 2024 auction. She previously played for South Delhi Superstarz in 2025, taking 3/26 in the final. Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal later copied the celebration during a County Championship match.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Medhavi Bidhuri's '6-7' celebration is the latest example of a cricketer creating a personal brand through a signature move, a tactic that has boosted the social media profiles of players across levels. The Delhi Premier League, now in its second edition, serves as a feeder for the WPL auction, where Bidhuri went unsold in 2024. A strong showing this season could improve her chances when the next WPL auction cycle opens. The tournament also gives selectors a wider pool to assess for domestic and India A squads, making every viral moment a potential career turning point.
