Different batsmen have different ways of celebrating century on ground. Pakistan Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq hit a century in his first Test match against England at Lord’s on Thursday was the "top innings" of an impressive Test career.
According to local media report, "I promised the army guys I would do the push-ups if I got a century," Misbah told reporters after stumps. He further revealed that the salute was for the Pakistan flag.
He also salute was at the country flag (which was hosted at the Lord's).
"We had an honour code on the boot camp, for push-ups, so that was my promise to them the next time I scored 100. So that was for them, and the salute was for the flag."
“I dedicate this hundred to my wife. She is always fasting when I am playing a match”. As per report, the evergreen Misbah wants to see Pakistan reach the 400 mark before unleashing his bowling attack on the England batsman.
"I rate this as my top innings in Test cricket and I m really happy about that," he said. "It s a dream to play at Lord s and especially getting 100, and the name on the honours board is something special," added Misbah,
Interestingly, Misbah, at the age of 42, became the oldest captain to score a hundred and wrote his name on the Honous Board at the Lord's.
