‘Should Join ICC Elite Panel’: Michael Vaughan Reacts to Viral ‘Dancing Umpire’

The commentator was also left stumped to see such an unpredictable action by the umpire. He was heard saying in the viral clip, “The umpire is coming near us. What has he done? Look at the style of wide! He is also acting wonderful in his own style.”

The shenanigans did not end there as the umpire next went berserk as he danced away on the field after a boundary. In another viral clip from the same match, one can see the ball reach the ropes for a four. The camera pans to the umpire, who simply started a dance performance in an attempt to signal the boundary.

People on social media platforms are having a blast circulating the video. Calling the man “dancing umpire”, netizens are widely sharing the clip and enjoying it. Many comments said that his antics brought delight to the environment on the ground.

Umpiring is indeed a challenging job in the game of cricket. The on-field officials, in particular, are required to make difficult judgments in real time.
