But the MI pacer bounced back on the final delivery of the over by dismissing Allen.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>What followed grabbed everyone\u2019s attention.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>After taking the wicket, Chahar pretended to pull out an imaginary chit from his pocket and pointed towards the crowd. His teammates, expecting him to actually produce a note, burst into laughter when they realised there was no chit at all.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>The \u2018chit celebration\u2019 has emerged as one of the biggest trends of IPL 2026. It all started when Abhishek Sharma celebrated his whirlwind century by taking out a handwritten note that read: \u201cThis one is for Orange Army.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Since then, several players have joined the trend, including Urvil Patel from Chennai Super Kings, Raghu Sharma from Mumbai Indians, and most recently Akash Maharaj Singh.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>However, the celebrations have also drawn criticism from former cricketers.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Ambati Rayudu termed it \u201crubbish and nonsense\u201d and questioned why players were carrying chits in their pockets during matches.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Former New Zealand pacer Mitchell McClenaghan said he was \u201cflabbergasted\u201d by the trend.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Meanwhile, former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn also mocked the celebrations on social media, writing: \u201cTime to put the papers away. It ain\u2019t trending no more. Actually, to be honest, never really was.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>As for the match, Mumbai Indians struggled to put together a competitive total and managed only 147\/8 in 20 overs after being sent in to bat.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Already eliminated from the playoff race, MI never recovered after slipping to 41\/4 inside six overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Hardik Pandya (26) and Tilak Varma (20) tried to rebuild with a 43-run partnership, but it was Corbin Bosch\u2019s unbeaten 32 off 18 balls that helped Mumbai get close to the 150-run mark.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>For KKR, Saurabh Dubey (2\/34), Cameron Green (2\/23), Kartik Tyagi (2\/37) and Sunil Narine (1\/13) starred with the ball.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/ipl\/ipl-2026\/deepak-chahar-mocks-viral-chit-celebration-with-hilarious-no-chit-act-during-kkr-vs-mi-match-watch\/articleshow\/131232582.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deepak Chahar (Image credit: BCCI\/IPL) NEW DELHI: While several players have been celebrating milestones with the now-viral \u2018chit celebration\u2019 &#8211; pulling out handwritten notes from their pockets after key moments &#8211; Deepak Chahar came up with his own hilarious take on the trend during Mumbai Indians\u2019s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders.Defending 147\/8, Chahar began the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/17491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saharanews.in\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
