“I teleported myself to my father”- Chetan Sakariya reveals reason behind his ‘Dragon Ball Z’ celebration

Chetan Sakariya was the star buy of the Delhi Capitals franchise in IPL 2022. But he had a poor outing in the whole season because most of the time, he warmed the benches. Despite purchasing him for INR 4.2 crore, he played only three games this season. Last year, while playing against Rajasthan Royals, one of his unique celebrations has caught the eyes of the fans.

Sakariya a memorable season alongside RR where he bagged 14 wickets. Experts and fans have praised his ability to swing the new ball. But in his brief outing alongside Delhi Capitals, the 24-year-old was seen doing an eccentric celebration after he dismissed Kolkata Knight Riders’ Aaron Finch. In an interview with Sportskeeda, Sakariya revealed the celebration was from one of the famous anime series ‘Dragon Ball Z’.

“The day I played and dismissed Aaron Finch, I did that Dragon Ball Z celebration. Whenever the character did that, he used to get teleported to wherever he wanted. So I too teleported myself to my father and told him that look I have got an international player out. So that was really unique for me.”

“Since I wasn’t a part of the playing XI, I began to feel very lonely. I used to have sleepless nights and used to miss my father a lot. He used to tease me at times by saying that he would consider me a good bowler, only if I dismiss an international player,” Sakariya added.
