5 cricketers and their tennis equivalents

#2 Rafael Nadal – MS Dhoni

Highly disciplined, hard working and down to earth is the best way to describe these legends. Both Nadal and Dhoni have transformed tennis and cricket respectively and have achieved so much during their peak. Unfortunately have not been at the top of their game for the past two years or so. Despite this, the millions of fans they have gathered over the years continue to support them and hope for them to get back their top form.

Another glaring similarity between the two is their style of play. Both, Nadal and Dhoni are not naturally talented. They have had to work hard to develop their particular style of the game for which they have received all the success over the years. While Dhoni is known for his unique shots and batting style, Nadal is known for the topspin he generates when he hits the ball and his amazing counter-attacking skills.

Rafael Nadal made history when he won 9 French Open titles, while MS Dhoni became India’s most successful ODI captain of all time.
