There aren’t a lot of things that this man can’t do. On his heydays, he could win games with bat or ball; he also showed impressive skills with the boxing gloves and now exhibited his singing skills.

The former England all-rounder treated the fans around the world as he remarkably impersonated Elvis Presley during Brisbane Heats’ match against Hobart Hurricanes.

Flintoff, who was fielding at the boundary, was on-mic talking to the commentators. He was encouraged by the former England coach David Lloyd and the all-rounder didn’t let the fans down.

Lloyd tweeted to the TV commentators urging them to ask the 37-year-old to get ‘singing ELVIS!!!!!’ and when the message was relayed, Flintoff sang ‘In the Ghetto’ for more than a minute imitating the American rocker.

Flintoff’s team won the encounter by 18 runs and he was applauded, and his spell behind the mic won him social media applause as well.

I hope my Elvis impersonation didn’t offend any viewers @tensporttv !! #myherotheking

Flintoff returned to cricket last year to play Twenty20 four years after his retirement and after spending time in professional boxing.
