For Khawaja, the dab was part of the locker room jokes, "We've been joking about it (the dab) all week," Khawaja said, reported cricket.com.au.

"Renners (Matt Renshaw) and a few of the other lads have been talking about it so when I got to fifty I thought 'just dab If I get a hundred then it'll be a super dab but I guess we'll have to wait for that," added the batsman.

It may be just a joke for Khawaja, but some on social media termed dabbing as an insult to the opposition, Pakistan.

Lack of respect shown by Khawaja to the Pakistan team. No excuse for behaviour like that in community cricket, let alone in a test, tweeted one user on the micro blogging platform. While, some were of the view that its just a harmless way of celebration.
