Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis went a step ahead and poured the drink in Wade’s shoe and drank to join the unique celebrations. The celebration has been made famous by Australian Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo, although it has always been popular in the country before he did it for the first time after finishing on the podium in the 2016 German Grand Prix. It has become a tradition ever since, with celebrities and athletes doing so to celebrate their wins. ICC share the video on their social media. Take a look here:

Australia win T20 World Cup: After the victory, skipper Aaron Finch described the feeling of winning the maiden T20 World Cup title as “awesome” and said the victory is great for Australian cricket.
“Yeah, it’s awesome, it really is. I think there’s been so much talk about this being the one that’s been elusive to Australia. And to be fair, we probably underperformed in the past, if we are being honest with ourselves,” said Finch.
“We’ve had some great teams along the way. This team is pretty special. The camaraderie, the way that everyone really cares for each other and looks after each other, looks out for each other; pretty special. So yeah, it’s awesome. That’s brilliant and it’s great for Australian cricket,” he added.
