5 cricketers who are also amazing dancers

Cricketers are no less than celebrities in the entertainment world today. They have an enormous fan following across the world. Players like Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma have become a big brand across the world.

Apart from their on-field performance, cricketers also look to work on their acting skills to do well in the advertisements they are offered. Dhoni and Rohit Sharma have done well in the acting department, but fans have rarely seen them shake a leg.

There are some other players who have amazing dancing skills as well and have not shied away from showing their dance performances to the world. Here's a list of five such players.

Former Indian fast bowler Sreesanth was part of the nation's T20 World Cup 2007 and ICC World Cup 2011 winning squads. Sreesanth's fast-bowling skills instilled fear in the minds of opposition batters, but he was not the same aggressive character off the field.

Sreesanth was among the best dancers in the cricket world during his prime. He once shared the stage with Shah Rukh Khan at an event and danced to King Khan's famous song 'Dard-E-Disco'. Sreesanth also participated in some reality dance shows.
