Fawad revealed that his celebration after the century was a scene from the famous TV series, Ertugrul Ghazi. Fawad dedicated the celebration to middle-order batsman Azhar Ali, who gave him the idea of celebrating it this way.
He said that during the 4-day game between Pak Shaheens and New Zealand A, Azhar Ali gave him the idea of celebrating in Ertugrul Ghazi style if he goes on to score a century. He added that Azhar supported and encouraged him to perform for Pakistan, and as soon as he crossed the hundred-run mark, Azhar’s advice came into his mind.
