The dead ringers: Cricketers and their cartoon twins

Ever wondered how your favorite cricketer would have looked like if he was a cartoon character? Well in this article, I bring you a list of current and past cricketers who resemble some famous cartoon characters.

Arun Lal and Gerald Broflovski (South Park series)

Arun Lal and Gerald Brovflovski – Seperated at birth?

Marlon Samuels and Vince (Recess)

Protagonists for their respective units. Athletes. Highly competitive.

Darren Lehmann and Shrek (Shrek series)

Aww….cute pie! (No, not you Darren)

Virat Kolhi and Charmeleon (Pokemon series)

No other cartoon character resembles Virat Kohli more than Charmeleon from the Pokemon series. The fiery eyes, that unmatched aggression, the highly volatile nature, they can hurt their foes with just those intimidating looks.

PS: Never make them angry, NEVER!

Shoaib Akhtar and Gollum (The Hobbit)

Those mesmerizing eyes, that wicked smile, there’s a lot common between Shoaib Akhtar and Gollum.

Kamran Akmal and Butthead (Beavis and Butthead)

Reports suggest that the last time Kamran Akmal closed his mouth, Pakistan was yet to win a cricket World Cup, Imran Khan was still the most eligible bachelor in Pakistan and Bangladesh hadn’t played a international cricket match. It looks like Kamran has found his long lost brother in Butthead from the Beavis and Butthead series.

How about a visit to the dentist, guys?

Ishant Sharma and Regan (The Exorcist)

Gosh..scary, aren’t they?
