Cricketers and comic-book superheroes captivate the audience with their enthralling displays either on cricket fields or on the battlegrounds. In the end, it is the entertainment which they provide makes the crowd love them.
Hence, they have a special place in the hearts of the people. Let us draw similarities and find out which cricketer resembles which comic-book superhero.
Virat Kohli - The Incredible Hulk
Dr. Bruce Banner, a scientist who was subjected to excessive gamma radiation becomes a big green monster known as 'The Incredible Hulk' when he gets angry. He is known to do a lot of destruction when he turns to the Hulk.
Similarly, Virat Kohli brings his top game when he is fired up and that helps him destroy the opposition just like the Hulk destroys his adversaries.
AB de Villiers - Superman
AB de Villiers is called 'The Superman of Cricket' because of his extraordinary talent to do things which other cricketers cannot even think of. Fans like to say that AB comes from another planet, just like the Superman comes from Krypton.
AB's batting is all about improvisation and the out-of-the-box shots he plays. These shots just do not come easily to anyone unless they have loads of talent. Because of their superhuman abilities, the reference is quite apt.
MS Dhoni - Iron Man
MS Dhoni resembles Tony Stark, the Iron Man, in quite a few ways. Dhoni has got Stark's qualities of being a genius, rich and witty. Dhoni is a smart cricketer with a genius intellect and great situational awareness. Also, he is one of the richest cricketers in the world with a staggering net worth.
In the past, we have had a taste of Dhoni's sense of humour at press conferences and also when he is behind the stumps. Moreover, when in his suit, Iron Man can travel at a great speed, Dhoni too, is extremely quick between the wickets.
Ajinkya Rahane - Batman
If you are a fan of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, you will know how much sacrifices Batman has made for his city, Gotham. Batman, the caped crusader is always ready to be whatever Gotham needs him to be. Yet, he has been unfairly looked at as a villain vigilante by the people of Gotham.
Similarly, Rahane is a watchful protector, the 'Dark Knight' and India's man for all seasons. Right from opening, batting in the middle order to slip fielding, he is always ready to do anything for the team.
Still, sometimes, he is unfairly blamed for India's defeat.
