Twitter Full Of Praise For Romanian Cricketer's First Run Out In Australia

Pavel Florin, the Romanian cricketer who became an internet sensation for his bowling action and love for the game, saw his video go viral after he claimed his first wicket in Australia on November 17. Now, Twitter is buzzing about him again after he shared a video of his first run out Down Under. In a video tweeted by him on Saturday, he is seen taking his trademark run-up before tossing up a fuller delivery. The batsman looks to smash it past him, but he manages to deflect it onto the stumps at the non-striker's end. The non-striker had left his crease and could not recover in time and the umpire raises his finger.

What follows is a passionate celebration from Florin, who gets up and does a celebratory jump before he is hounded by teammates. With hugs and high-fives all around, he caps off the celebration by pumping his fist in excitement.

"My first run out in Australia. Sometimes you're in the right place at the right time! Are you sure it was an accident?" he captioned the video.

Pavel Florin rose to popularity when a video of his bowling action in the European T10 Cricket League went viral.

Many came out in support of Pavel Florin and his love for the game -- he started playing cricket aged 32, and is still going strong at 40.

Even though he was subjected to some initial trolling, Florin was always unperturbed.

"Maybe someone says my bowling is not beautiful or not effective but I don't care, because I love cricket," he had said in a video after his bowling action went viral.
