Parag's celebratory jig 

Archer picked the folk dance skill from his IPL teammate Riyan Parag who took the internet by storm with his Bihu celebratory dance a few days earlier. In a match against Hyderabad, Parag hit Khaleel Ahmed for a six on the penultimate ball of the last over to win the game by five wickets in a thrilling turn around. Parag, a native of Assam, showed off his Bihu skills after hitting the winning runs for the team.
