Ravi Kishan and Irfan Pathan Join the Viral Gucci Trend
The entertaining exchange took place during FICCI FRAMES 2026, being held on September 29 and 30 at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. The session featured Ravi Kishan, Irfan Pathan, veteran sports journalist Mayanti Langer, JioStar CTO Akash Saxena and OpenAI India Head of Marketing Sheeladitya Mohanty.
During the session, Kishan showcased his now-famous ‘Gucci dance’ and invited Pathan to try the steps. Pathan readily accepted the challenge and attempted to match Kishan’s distinctive movements, drawing cheers and applause from those present.
The moment was captured on video and soon attracted attention on social media, with viewers enjoying the unexpected combination of entertainment and cricket.
How Ravi Kishan’s Gucci Dance Went Viral
Ravi Kishan’s ‘Gucci dance’ had previously become a social media sensation, particularly among Gen Z audiences. The signature move features a sideways shuffle that originated from an unplanned moment when Kishan was walking toward a stage with limited space.
Kishan later described the situation by saying he felt like a “locked pigeon,” which inspired the movement. The unusual dance quickly caught people’s attention, leading to numerous reels and memes.
The trend also brought renewed attention to Aroob Khan’s 2020 song ‘Gucci’, which became closely associated with Kishan’s viral dance.
