Former New Zealand cricketer-turned-commentator Danny Morrison is one of the most colourful characters.

The 57-year-old - who entertains fans with his quirky and funny style of commentary - is often seen doing something hilarious on and off the cricket pitch during live games.

Something similar was witnessed in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) 2023 where the former Kiwi seamer lifted a fellow female presenter in his lap.

Before the start of the PSL 2023 league game between Islamabad United and Quetta Gladiators on Sunday (March 5), Morrison hilariously lifted presenter Holland in his lap and gave her a spin.

Holland - the popular Australian presenter - herself shared the video of the funny incident, with the caption: "Love ya uncle @SteelyDan66 @thePSLt20".

Holland - who is a well-known face in India as well - also happens to be the wife of former Australia all-rounder Ben Cutting.

In reply, Morrison wrote: "Just keeping you on your toes Mrs Cutting!!! #PSL8".

This isn't the first instance when Morrison - who made his New Zealand Test debut at the age of 21 in 1987 - has done something hilarious during presentations. During his IPL stint in the past, Morrison had lifted a cheerleader on his shoulders and he did something similar with former IPL anchor Karishma Kotak.

Talking about the match between Gladiators and United, the latter won the nail-biting contest by a slender 2-wicket margin with three balls to spare.

Batting first, the Sarfraz Ahmed-led side posted 179/6 runs in 20 overs. Mohammad Nawaz (52 off 44 balls), Najibullah Zadran (59 off 34 balls) and Umar Akmal's blitz of 43* off 14 balls guided their team to a competitive total at Rawalpindi Stadium.

In response, the Shadab Khan-led Islamabad side overhauled the target in 19.3 overs riding upon an imperious knock of 63 off 29 balls from Colin Munro - who set the pace for his team in the run chase. Later, Azam Khan (35) and Faheem Ashraf (39*) also played their part well and took their team home.
