Tazmin Brits' Viral 'Mohamed Salah' Celebration Sparks Debate and Misinformation
A video of South African cricketer Tazmin Brits performing a unique celebration after scoring a century in the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup has gone viral. The celebration, known as the 'Mohamed Salah' celebration, has sparked debate and misinformation online. The celebration, which involves kneeling and shooting an imaginary arrow, was first popularised by Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah. Some users have been sharing the video, claiming that Brits performed this celebration in a match against Pakistan, in support of Sabrina Carpenter. However, this claim is misleading. In reality, Brits performed the celebration in a match against New Zealand, not Pakistan. The Mohamed Salah celebration is a pose that the footballer does when he scores a goal. Some people interpret it as a symbol of the Egyptians' temples or pyramids. Tazmin Brits confirmed that she performed the celebration after scoring a century at the request of two 13-year-old girls. Despite the misinformation, the video has been a hit online, with many appreciating Brits' creativity and sportsmanship. While the viral video has sparked some misinformation, it has also highlighted the creativity and sportsmanship of South African cricketer Tazmin Brits. The 'Mohamed Salah' celebration, originally popularised by the Egyptian footballer, has now become a part of cricket history, thanks to Brits' unique performance.
