#2 Chris Gayle and Zlatan Ibrahimovic

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots v Jamaica Tallawahs - 2018 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Tournament Play-Off 2

The two players attract fans with relative ease. Chris Gayle is a crowd puller in the cricketing world due to his charisma and big hitting abilities. Zlatan is also a fan favourite and has the charisma Gayle has. He is a stupendous goalscorer and has scored more than 500 goals in his glittering career. Gayle is a six hitting machine and has hit more than 100 sixes.

Both of them have played for many clubs and had great careers with their countries. Currently, they are in the twilight of their successful careers but it doesn't look like their abilities are waning. They are giant men and scare the living daylights out of opposition defenders and bowlers.

Off the field, they are known for speaking their mind out and don't shy away from telling anything. They have often involved themselves in controversies and found themselves in trouble.

Keeping everything aside, we can say one thing for sure- they will go down as legends.
