"Usman is obviously Muslim, so he doesn't like the champagne being thrown," Cummins, who also finished as the highest wicket-taker in the series victory over England, told reporters.Cummins'"classy" gesture went viral on social media and was praised by fans as wells as former England cricketer Isa Guha.
