A few days back, Pakistanis were hit by a shock wave when a PML-N lawmaker, during a National Assembly committee meeting on Wednesday, said cricket players should offer prayers instead of doing push-ups following a victory. He raised a question about what message the team is trying to give.

The Push-up celebration gained fame when Misbah-ul-Haq performed it after scoring a century against England at Lord’s which was followed by a salute. The celebration further gained fame when the entire Pakistani team performed it after defeating England in that very test match later on. The celebration gained so much attention around the world, that it has become a Trademark Pakistani celebration & we even got to see the trend #PushUpChallenge.
