Grant Elliot reveals backstory to 'bat drop' celebration

Elliott was on strike with Qalandars needing six off the final five balls, and just one wicket to spare. He then launched paceman Muhammad Sami into the stands to complete the narrow win.

Naturally, Elliott won plenty of admirers for his flamboyant showmanship.

But it was unclear what inspired the Kiwi all-rounder to do such an act. Speaking to Geo News, Elliott revealed why he mimicked the popular 'drop the mic' move.

"I don't mind a bit of rap music every now and then. Sometimes they sign off just by dropping the mic. It's sort of like the end of the session. It is defiant sort of message that it’s over," he explained.

A mic drop is a gesture of intentionally dropping one's microphone at the end of a performance or speech to signal a moment of triumph. Figuratively, it is an expression of victory for a successful event, indicating a boastful attitude toward one's own performance.

Elliott also expressed conditional willingness to visit Lahore for PSL final if The Federation of International Cricketers Associations (FICA) permits.

He said T20 cricket is exciting, entertaining, and that people should express themselves while enjoying the cricket.

"I guess that's what I was doing. Trying to make it entertaining and exciting for the crowd. And hopefully, we'll get more Qalandar fans because of it [bat drop],” he added.

OR maybe he just took inspiration from former US president!

Let’s re-live the moment once again

Top 5 moments of PSL 2017 so far

Pakistan Super League's second edition is well under its way and has given us some memorable moments already. Here's a compilation of the top five unforgettable moments so far: 1. Brendon McCullum’s captaincy in low-scoring thriller against Zalmi (watch video at the end) February 12, 2017 will go down in the history of cricket as the night when fans witnessed a low-scoring thriller at its most incredible. Lahore Qalandars’ batting imploded against Zalmi, as the team got all out for 59 – the lowest ever total in PSL and the second-lowest in Pakistan’s entire domestic cricket records. But what happened next was unreal. The Qalandars, guided by Brendon McCullum’s brilliant and aggressive captainship, fall just three wickets short in pulling off probably the most incredible win in the game’s history. The match got as intense as Zalmi lost one wicket after another; it wasn’t for the weak-hearted to watch. 2. What a catch..But what a selfie! (watch video and Photo at the end) Pes...
