# Delhi cricketer Medhavi Bidhuri’s ‘6-7’ celebration goes viral 2026-08-21T14:57:17+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Delhi women's cricketer Medhavi Bidhuri has gone viral for her '6-7' celebration during the Women's Delhi Premier League 2026. The leg-spinner, playing for Central Delhi Queens, made the gesture after taking wickets, raising and lowering both hands. The celebration matches her jersey number 67, which she chose on her younger sister's advice after number 12 was unavailable. Times Now reports that the trend has crossed into English county cricket. India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal recreated Bidhuri's '6-7' celebration after dismissing Lancashire batter Joe Moores while playing for Northamptonshire in a County Championship match at Old Trafford. Chahal took 3 for 39 in a 316-run victory for Northants, their first at the ground since 1999. Bidhuri first used the celebration on August 20 against South Delhi Superstarz, finishing with 2 for 24. She repeated it on August 23 against East Delhi Riders, taking 1 for 26. Central Delhi Queens lost both matches. The story first appeared on DNA India, which noted Bidhuri went viral after the '6-7' celebration in DPL 2026. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources lead with the viral nature of the celebration rather than match results, framing this as a lighthearted entertainment story. Times Now highlights the cross-border appeal by featuring Chahal's imitation, while DNA India focuses on Bidhuri's identity. Neither adopts a political or critical stance. The coverage is uniform straight reporting on a social media trend. The key takeaway: a domestic league moment has become a global cricket meme, with Chahal's adoption likely to amplify its reach further. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - dnaindia.com (neutral report) Framed as a viral moment piece focusing on Bidhuri's identity - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Framed as a trend story with Chahal as the cross-over hook This story was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above.
