IPL 2026 | Deepak Chahar Mocks Viral 'Chit Celebration' Act During KKR vs MI Match - Watch

Deepak Chahar, known for his no-nonsense approach, gave a hilarious take on the viral chit celebration trend during Mumbai Indians’s clash against Kolkata Knight Riders. Defending 147/8, Chahar began under pressure as KKR opener Finn Allen smashed him for back-to-back boundaries. But the MI pacer bounced back with a brilliant dismissal of Allen.

What followed grabbed everyone's attention. 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.

This 'chit celebration' trend has emerged as one of the biggest trends of IPL 2026. Since then, several players have joined the trend, including Urvil Patel from Chennai Super Kings and Raghu Sharma from Mumbai Indians. However, the celebrations have also drawn criticism from former cricketers like Ambati Rayudu and Mitchell McClenaghan.
