New Delhi: West Indies pacer Shamar Joseph is ready to start his Indian Premier League (IPL) duties as he will be part of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in IPL 2024 to be held on March 22 are in place. The young fast bowler recently joined the LSG team and will be in action in Lucknow after impressing the world with his performances on the international stage.
Like other franchises, LSG has welcomed the team members arriving in Lucknow and is gearing up for the opening match against Rajasthan Royals on March 24th. With only a week left until the tournament, the social media handles of each team are becoming very active. Away. LSG recently posted a video with Joseph mentioning India’s famous victory at the Gabba in Brisbane, Australia in 2021.
Shubham Gaur, a content creator who has been active on social media as LSG’s ‘Impact Fan’, asked Shamar about the WIFI password in the video. When he said, “Shamar bro, can you tell me the WIFI password?”, the speedster replied, “Toota hai gaba ka gamand” (Gaba’s pride has been hurt). This was a reference to India’s series win over Australia in the 2021 Gabba Test.

This popular Hindi phrase was uttered by former Indian cricketer Vivek Razdan during the Hindi commentary of a famous Test. Several fans got goosebumps when Razdan uttered the iconic line at the moment of Rishabh Pant’s winning fourth home run. Pant played an unbeaten 89-run knock and helped India win the four-match Test series 2-1.

The video was also a reference to West Indies’ historic victory over Australia at the same venue, leveling the two-match series and ending it on a high. Test student Shamar Joseph took center stage, running through Australia’s batting order and picking up seven wickets to propel the visiting team to a heartbreaking eight-run victory. This case is yet another blow to Australians, as the Gabba remains a well-known hub for Australians.
