Why did Medhavi Bidhuri go viral?
Bidhuri became an internet sensation during the opening match of the Women’s DPL 2026 because of her unique ‘6-7’ celebration.
In the 16th over, she dismissed South Delhi Superstarz batter Nishika Singh. Arushi Goel completed a diving catch at mid-wicket, giving Bidhuri her second wicket of the match.
Instead of celebrating in the usual manner, the Delhi spinner performed the now-popular ‘6-7’ hand gesture. The celebration involved moving both hands up and down in a seesaw-like motion.
Bidhuri finished the match with figures of 2/24 from her four overs. Despite her efforts, Central Delhi Queens eventually lost the match by 29 runs.
Why did Medhavi Bidhuri wear No. 67?
The story behind the celebration is even more interesting. Bidhuri normally wanted to wear jersey number 12, but the number was already occupied. Her younger sister suggested that she choose No. 67 because the ‘6-7’ trend was popular among Gen Z.
Speaking about the celebration, Bidhuri said, “This is ‘67’. This is trending right now, and my little sister is Gen Z, so she told me to wear jersey number 67 and do this celebration.”
