Why did he do it?
Just what prompted Naved-ul-Hasan Rana to celebrate the way he did after dismissing Sehwag for 254 in 247 balls?
My only guess is that plan Z finally worked, after plans A to Y had been thrown out of the window.

Naved's celebration was promoted by the same bug which made Saurav celebrate on taking that catch (although admittedly through a good effort) off ....hold your breath ....Naved the batsman....the bane of Indian bowlers....who had piled on 600 runs all alone by the time he lobbed that chance.
But anyway that Naved catch had some use...in the post match conference atleast Inzy could say '400 runs for 1 wkt' instead of '400 runs and counting' :-)

One wicket after 3 days and 400 runs! Grant the kid some emotion display;-)

worma: Slight difference though, Rana was hardly short on confidence. Plus he knew he'd be contributing in _some_ manner or the other because he'd bowl a fair share of overs. Ganguly got his name somewhere on Pakistan's batting scorecard in that manner. Ganguly bowled what ... six?
beowulf: Yes it was plainly obvious that is why they came out. Sehwag is a madcap. Ok, in this case it was a coincidence that just after he got out, the players went back inside. At Mohali last year, he was out stumped off Younis Khan (!) when it was plain and obvious that the last over of the game was on.
minal: That is fine. But my question was if it was emotion of the 'Yaay! Plan Z worked!' kind :)

Great to see a sense of humour after what were probably two of the longest days of his career. I haven't seen any more than the photos you've posted here but I reckon it's great. He should completed the dance with some more pointing and a real send off. (all tongue in cheek of course)

stu: Yes, totally agree with you. He really ought to have rounded it off with a finger pointing send-off and a tongue lashing. But we're talking about Naved, not Nel :)
