Cricket star Rakheem Cornwall pulled off an ice-cool bat drop after hitting a blitzing century in the Caribbean Premier League.
Cornwall, who is the sport's heaviest professional player at 22 stone, guided the Barbados Royals to victory against the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots on Sunday (September 3) with 102 off of just 49 balls.

He played a vital role for the Royals last year, though, scoring 242 runs in nine games as they won the competition. Cornwall is yet to make his international debut in the white-ball game, but he has 10 Test appearances to his name for the Windies.
