Note - No disrespect is intended to any cricketer.
Cricket is a funny game they say. Cricket has so many things to offer. Exuberance, entertainment, shock, disappointment and... fun. Everyone loves a good dose of laughter. For all the laughter in this sport, we owe it to these hilarious superstars.
The piece of photo you see above is of Indian speedster Ishant Sharma who has been in the Indian side for well above a decade. In the home series vs Australia in 2017, he came up with this epic facial expression. The Aussie captain Steven Smith was on strike and this was Ishant's reply for his mocking.
In serious games, a few will act the goat to amuse teammates. But some others just love having the audience rolling in aisles. Be it on-field or off-field, they will make your day anytime. From crazy tweets to hilarious celebrations and commentary, this list addresses them all. Get ready to have a good laugh for next few minutes.
5. Virender Sehwag
You would barely find any audacious batsman like him. Who in the world tries to hit a six and gets out on 195? When asked, he said that he didn't want to take singles or doubles to achieve the landmark score. There's even more. He used to sing songs everytime he batted at the crease. According to Tendulkar, he didn't listen to anyone while batting. Whenever Sachin advised him to defend, he would hit back with boundaries.
His funny side was pretty much dormant throughout his cricketing career. He was mostly a ruthless, aggressive hitter of the cricket ball. Once he retired, the world got to know who Sehwag was. He took twitter as his weaponry and started showcasing his sense of humor. He hasn't looked back ever since. Here are some crazy tweets by this superstar.
4. Imran Tahir
He is definitely a fantastic leggie with amazing skills up his sleeve. Hailing from Pakistan, this man has come a long way to end up in the Proteas national side. His wide array of variations can bamboozle any batsman on strike. At 39, he is on the verge of his International retirement. He will be remembered as a great ambassador of South African cricket. There is another fact that awaits to blow you away. Throughout his career, he has represented as many as 34 teams including national and domestic teams.
Here is the thing: celebrate it like Tahir. He definitely deserves to be on this list. The reason is his crazy celebration which is unlike anyone else's. Have a look at his trademark celebration in the clips below.

3. Billy Bowden
Have a look at that crooked finger. Wonder what that signals? The bizarre action signals that the batsman is out. There are some who are passionate about cricket. Then there are others who add their humor to cricket. Billy is the ultimate mix of both sides. Rarely in the cricketing world any umpire has as much fan following as Billy. His decision making is impeccable. He has the eagle's eyes which barely fail to read the ball.
It's not that the crooked finger is all he has to offer. Have a look down below for some entertainment.
This is when Billy became the first ever umpire to show a red card in cricket..
And that's how you signal a boundary..
2. Inzamam Ul Haq
There is no denying that he is one of the greats for Pakistan. He was blessed with incredible batting technique which could withstand any bowling attack. He has brought his nation glory time and again. If he lacked anything, it was fitness. Although that didn't prevent him from being himself on the field, he repeatedly managed to get out in ridiculously funny ways. In a post match interview with Rameez Raja, he admitted (sarcastically) that he didn't understand the rule of run-outs.
Below are some videos containing string of run-outs and bizarre ways he got out throughout his International career.
Have fun!
The moment of confession!
And he falls on the stumps!
1. Danny Morrison
One must accept that he is the funniest man in the world of cricket. He deserves to top this elite list. Kiwis can't fly but this kiwi can literally make you laugh to death. It's not that he turned sarcastic post retirement like others. He has been like that forever. His funny face coupled with crazy actions are a joy to watch. He was a sincere servant of the New Zealand side who served the team well. Being extremely aggressive as a bowler, he bagged 286 scalps throughout his 10 year long International career.
Won't stretch this any further. Here is Danny Morrison for you!
