5 Hilarious biopics of famous cricketers

Last month, one of the most awaited documentaries based on the life of the 'god of cricket' Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, released across 2800 screens worldwide.

The movie shows the 24 years of Sachin’s cricketing career in just 137 minutes. The film wasn't just a movie but also a nostalgia for many. Inspired, I listed down Indian cricketers that deserve a movie of their own and threw in a bit of a twist.

Here's a list of funny versions of player biopics based on famous movies and characters.

Note: This is a work of humour and is not to be taken literally.

Virender Sehwag: 300

Sehwag's daredevil approach is akin to that of King Leonidas from the movie 300

It's a known fact, Virender Sehwag was one of the world's most devastating batsmen ever. With two triple centuries in Test cricket under his kitty, he's in elite company and the only Indian to do so. If Hollywood ever considers making an Indian version of the movie 300, Virender Sehwag would be their first choice to replace Gerard Butler.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Mahendra Bahubali

A Dhoni flick inspired by Bahubali would be a treat for fans of both the movie and the player

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the undisputed Bahubali of the Indian Team. He is the man who seems to have taken an oath in the name of God of cricket - Sachin Tendulkar - for protecting the interest of crores of cricket fans.

Among the several victories that he orchestrated, the victories in the World Cup in 2011, the T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy in 2013 is bound to be fresh in the minds of Indian fans the world over. If Tollywood ever thinks of making another sequel of Bahubali, they won't have to change the name of the protagonist Mahendra Bahubali.

Virat Kohli: Coolie

For all the heavy-lifting that Virat Kohli does

Virat Kohli, the man who not only carries the burden of team's batting but also takes them to the right place when everyone else seems to fail. If Bollywood ever thinks of re-making the movie Coolie, there's a good chance of Virat Kohli replacing Big B.

Suresh Raina: Mr India

Suresh Raina's 'now you see me, now you don't' act draws comparisons with Mr. India

One of the most consistent batsmen in the T20 format, Suresh Raina has struggled to find a place in the ODI team or Test team. Raina can now only be seen in the IPL and disappears into obscurity for the remainder of the year - a bit like how Mr. India was visible only under the shade of red-light. If Bollywood ever thinks of re-making Mr.India and offer it a cricketing twist, Suresh Raina should be an automatic choice.

Ishant Sharma and Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Vikram aur Betaal

Riding on a trusted ally

Ishant Sharma is probably India's luckiest pace bowlers with the number of opportunities he continues to receive despite several essays of unimpressive performances. And this has happened mostly under the watchful eyes of MS Dhoni the captain. If there is ever another version of the Vikram Betal television series, this duo would be an ideal choice.
