Taskin Ahmed produced one of the most talked-about celebrations seen on a cricket field in recent memory after dismissing Cameron Green during the 1st Test between Australia and Bangladesh at Marrara Cricket Ground in Darwin on August 13, 2026.
The post gave viewers a close look at Taskin’s animated reaction after the wicket fell, with the Bangladesh pacer celebrating the breakthrough in front of the Darwin crowd.
The dismissal that sparked the celebration
The dismissal came when Taskin bowled a length ball on middle and leg stump. Mushfiqur Rahim completed the catch, sending Green back to the pavilion and triggering the now-viral celebration from the Bangladesh pacer. Green was dismissed for 13 runs in 13 balls including one six during his brief stay.
Green, who is 37 Tests into his career and was 27 years and 48 days old on match day, is described as the youngest member of Australia’s Test side. He featured as a batting allrounder alongside Beau Webster in Australia’s XI, with Pat Cummins leading the side after winning the toss and choosing to bat first.
Bangladesh’s pace attack in Darwin
Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud shared the new ball for Bangladesh, with Ebadot Hossain selected as the third seamer ahead of Khaled Ahmed. The pace attack carried added responsibility because Nahid Rana and Shoriful Islam were both unavailable due to injuries, leaving Taskin and Mahmud as the primary fast-bowling options for the visitors.
Mushfiqur Rahim, who held the catch to complete the dismissal, will play as a specialist batter at No. 5 in this match. Litton Das returned to the XI as wicketkeeper after missing Bangladesh’s previous Test against Zimbabwe through a calf injury, which placed Mushfiqur in the fielding position and made his contribution to the dismissal possible.
The match is the opening fixture of a two-Test series that forms part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship cycle. Australia entered the series as WTC table leaders, while Bangladesh were placed fourth. Test cricket was returning to Darwin after more than two decades, and Bangladesh were playing a Test series in Australia for the first time since 2003. The second Test is scheduled for August 22-26, 2026 at Great Barrier Reef Arena, Mackay.
