It started with a boom for the Rajasthan Royals team on Wednesday at Dubai International Stadium.
The match was between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals and DC captain Shreyas Iyer after winning the toss decided to bat first, however, things did not start well for DC.
RR bowler Jofra Archer on the very first ball of the match took the wicket of DC opener Prithvi Shaw. The English seamer was exhilarated with the wicket and went over teammate Riyan Parag to perform the traditional Assamese Bihu dance with him.
“Is the Bihu dance catching up in the @rajasthanroyalssquad?” a post on IPL twitter stated.

It was a stunning moment when Riyan Parag struck a six off the consequent ball of the final over when RR needed two runs off two balls to win. Parag celebrated the win with the traditional Bihu dance, which took the netizen mesmerized.
Parag also taught the Bihu dance steps to his partner Rahul Tewatia:
