Is this the weirdest wicket celebration of all time?

Virat Kohli took a brilliant catch in the IPL, but his bizarre celebration confused the umpires so much they gave it not out.

With Shane Watson bowling against Gujurat Lions, Kohli charged in from mid on and took a diving catch.

He then stood up and angrily pegged the ball into the ground before storming back to his position without so much as a high five or bum tap from any of his teammates.

The lack of celebration left everyone thoroughly confused, with the umpires assuming the ball hadn't carried and giving it not out.

When they finally decided to check the catch with the third umpire, replays showed the Indian skipper had indeed held it, but why so angry?

Commentators suggested he was in a significant amount of pain after taking the catch with stitches in his hand.
