Lahore Qalandars Grant Elliott sent social media into frenzy with his unique celebration after a thrilling contest against Islamabad United at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Monday.
Former New Zealand all-rounder Elliott, who is remembered for his stunning batting display in the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2015 against South Africa, once again showed his class by hitting a match-winning six against the defending champions.
After hitting the maximum, the 37-year-old dropped his bat while standing still, a celebration which became quite popular on the social media afterwards.
Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif who is most likely a Lahore Qalandars supporter replied to a tweet asking him to build a flyover in name of the umpires from the match.
The tweet read, “UMPIRON KE NAAM SE EK FLYOVER BANAYA JAYE @CMShehbaz SIR.”
The chief minister replied to the tweet and said, “or Elliot?”
