Wahab Riaz keeps a Horseshoe Moustache and there is a resemblance one can clearly see with Mitchell Johnson. Despite being great facial hair, Riaz's moustache was trolled a lot on social media when he came out with it in the Pakistan Super League.

Riaz did not answer whether his moustache was inspired by Australian speedster Johnson but it was anything but evident.

Leaving the trolls aside, if one actually sits down to analyze his 'mo,' it isn't the worst. The Pakistani bowler is known to clock 150 km/h and is one of the best fast bowlers around currently. The 33-year-old has 102 wickets in 79 matches for Pakistan with an Economy rate of 5.69.


#2 Kevin Pietersen

The English cricketer sported a moustache during the Ashes in 2010. Pietersen decided to go with a neat moustache which had no sideburns for the Movember month. However, the 38-year-old does not sport a moustache currently. The right-handed batsman had a phenomenal career for England, in all three formats of the game.

A versatile batsman, Pietersen made 4440 runs for England in 136 matches with a batting average of 40.73 and a phenomenal strike rate of 86.58. He called it quits in International cricket in November 2014.

The decorated batsman kept playing in domestic T20 leagues after retirement but decided to hang up his boots for good in March 2018. The hard-hitting batsman last played for PSL side Quetta Gladiators marking the end of a fantastic career.
