WATCH: Heaviest cricketer with the heaviest hits in CPL; drops the bat after a 45 ball 100

RAKHEEM CORNWALL IS REGARDED as the heaviest professional cricketer in the world.

And playing for Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League he's been making some heavy hits indeed.

As the Royals chased down a big total against the Patriots, Cornwall did all the heavy lifting with a fierce century to his name. And the way he celebrated his ton has taken the internet by a heavy storm.

In celebration, instead of raising the bat, he dropped it to mimic a mic-drop moment often seen in pop culture.

Thanks to the victory earned by his innings Barbados Royals are well on their way to the playoffs. They are currently 4th on the table with 3 wins out of 7 matches.
